Frequently asked questions
What is Globe Life Inc's revenue?
Globe Life Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $6.07B, and consensus projects about $8.34B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is GL?
In its most recent fiscal year, GL ran a gross margin of 33.40%, an operating margin of 24.38%, and a net margin of 19.36%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does GL generate?
GL produced $1.25B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is GL's balance sheet healthy?
GL holds $144.70M in cash and equivalents against $2.32B in long-term debt, on $5.97B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
