    Principal Financial Group is scheduled to release its second-quarter results at 4:15 PM ET on July 27, with the report confirmed to arrive after the market close. Investors will be combing through the numbers with two specific concerns front of mind: the company's commercial real estate exposure within its insurance portfolio, and signs of how a cooling retirement services market is affecting the business.

    Commercial real estate has been a pressure point across the insurance industry, and PFG's portfolio will be examined closely for any deterioration in credit quality or reserve adjustments tied to those holdings. At the same time, a slowdown in retirement services demand could weigh on the fee and spread income that has historically been a steady contributor to the company's top line.
