Globe Life Inc. is currently under investor scrutiny, with a class action lawsuit being filed against the firm amidst allegations of insurance fraud, which has seen its shares take a significant plunge. On the other hand,
First Trust Direct Indexing,
Cwm LLC, and
Los Angeles Capital Management LLC have increased their stakes in the insurer, reflecting some investor confidence. Despite the negative buzz, Globe Life declared a quarterly dividend of $0.24, perhaps indicative of the company's strong financial position. Analysts also generally see the company as a strong buy. Globe Life's Q1 2024 had mixed results, with the company missing revenue and Earnings per Share (EPS) estimates, though Q2 earnings topped estimates as premiums rose year over year. Subsequent insider buying activity even led to a boost in trading. Furthermore, following accusations from short seller
Fuzzy Panda Research, Globe Life retorted, leading to a stock surge. Downsides included second short-selling targeting within a month and reduction of stake by
Victory Capital Management and
Signaturefd LLC. The company also recorded considerable stock repurchases and unveiled a $1.3 billion buyback authorization.
