Is Globe Life stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Globe Life stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Globe Life's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Globe Life's P/E ratio

Globe Life's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Globe Life shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.

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.

Globe Life share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 7.85% 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 $0.945 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 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 5 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Globe Life's shares ever split?

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.

Globe Life share price volatility
