That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Globe Life's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Globe Life is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Dividend payout ratio: 8.05% of net profits
Recently Globe Life has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Globe Life shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Globe Life's case, that would currently equate to about $0.99 per share.
While Globe Life's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Globe Life is investing more in its future growth.
Globe Life's most recent dividend payout was on 31 July 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 July 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Globe Life's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 1 July 2014 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Globe Life shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Globe Life shares which in turn could have impacted Globe Life's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Globe Life's shares have ranged in value from as little as $85.3521 up to $133.189. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Globe Life's is 0.564. This would suggest that Globe Life's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
