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 current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Globe Life shares trade at around 13x 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's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1 billion (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Globe Life's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Globe Life is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 5.59/100
Globe Life's environmental score of 5.59 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Globe Life is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 16.11/100

Dividend payout ratio: 11.52% of net profits
Recently Globe Life has paid out, on average, around 11.52% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.88% 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 0.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Globe Life's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 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 1 August 2022. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 1 July 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Globe Life's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 2 July 2014. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 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.
Over the last 12 months, Globe Life's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$84.9017 up to US$108.381. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Globe Life's is 0.9619. This would suggest that Globe Life's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
