Description: GL Globe Life October 31, 2025
Globe Life Inc. (NYSE:GL) markets life and supplemental health insurance, plus annuity products, primarily to lower-middle- and middle-income families in the United States. The business is organized into three segments-Life Insurance, Supplemental Health Insurance, and Investments-and distributes its offerings through a direct-to-consumer channel, exclusive agency network, and independent agents. The company, originally founded in 1900 as Torchmark Corp., rebranded to Globe Life in August 2019 and is headquartered in McKinney, Texas.
As of the 2023 fiscal year, Globe Life reported $5.6 billion in net written premiums, a combined ratio of 94.5 % in its life-insurance segment, and a return on equity (ROE) of 12.3 %, indicating solid underwriting profitability. The firm’s investment portfolio generated $310 million of net investment income, reflecting the benefit of a higher-yielding interest-rate environment. Key sector drivers include the aging U.S. population-projected to push Medicare-eligible enrollment above 80 million by 2030-and the sensitivity of life-insurance carriers to interest-rate shifts, which affect both product pricing and the valuation of fixed-income assets.
