The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- GL closes below its 50-day average ($167.23) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($160.12): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $159.21, GL is 16.9% below its 1-year high of $191.55, set on July 17, 2026, and 23.2% above its 1-year low of $129.21 (December 3, 2025).
- Over the past month GL fell 4.3%, from $166.28 to $159.21.
- GL trades at 10.8x its last twelve months of earnings and 9.7x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 11.3% higher.
- Its P/E is 33.8% below the 16.3x median of the 2 other insurance—life companies we track (MET, AFL).
- GL's 30-day volatility, 31.9% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.46: over five years of monthly returns, GL moved about 0.46% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $167.23 (+5.0%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 4.3% under the 200-day at $160.12 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $191.55 (+20.3%) would be a new 1-year high; below $129.21 (−18.8%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for GL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under insurance—life among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for GL by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
