Globe Life Inc. (GL)

Globe Life's stock price has been influenced by several events in the past six months. In April 2024, the share price declined significantly due to fraud allegations made by Fuzzy Panda Research, which the company rejected. An independent investigation concluded that the allegations were unfounded. By August 2024, the share price had recovered. As of January 9, 2026, the closing share price was $141.95, with increases over the past 30 days and 12 months. Globe Life has also affirmed and increased its quarterly dividend, most recently to $0.27 per share in early 2025.

The supplemental health segment can experience cyclicality, as evidenced by increased Medicare Supplement claims utilization. Globe Life's outlook is driven by continued agent growth and technology-enabled sales processes. While recent mortality gains are expected to persist, the company remains cautious, citing potential claim seasonality and macroeconomic uncertainties.
