Key Takeaways Globe Life's health premium revenue rose 16% in Q2 2026, led by United American and Family Heritage.Health insurance grew to 34% of total premium revenue, up from 31% a year earlier.Approved rate increases are expected to generate about $65 million of additional premium. Globe Life Inc. (GL - Free Report) is benefiting from strong momentum in its health insurance business. Rising healthcare spending, strong Medicare Supplement demand, rate increases and expanding distribution are driving growth and creating a foundation for higher earnings.

Health premium revenues increased 16% year over year in the second quarter of 2026. United American's health premiums rose 29%, while Family Heritage's increased 9%. Health insurance accounted for 34% of total premium revenues, up from 31% a year earlier, highlighting its growing contribution to Globe Life's business.

Rising healthcare spending could further support demand for supplemental health coverage. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services projects national health expenditures to grow 5.4% annually through 2034. Strong Medicare Supplement sales are supporting Globe Life's health premium growth, while approved rate increases on individual health products are expected to generate approximately $65 million of additional premium.

Globe Life's distribution network provides another growth driver. In the second quarter of 2026, Family Heritage's average producing agent count increased 7%, supporting broader customer reach and health sales.

However, medical inflation remains a challenge for Accident & Health insurers. Higher medical costs can pressure claims and underwriting margins, although Globe Life's rate increases should help offset some of this pressure.

Overall, strong demand, favorable rates and expanding distribution should support Globe Life's health business. The Health Insurance segment is becoming an important contributor to GL's premium growth, underwriting profitability and earnings momentum.

What About Its Peers?Aflac Incorporated's (AFL - Free Report) supplemental health business remains a key driver of its growth, with products designed to help customers cover expenses not fully paid by major medical insurance.

Health collected premiums increased 5.5% year over year to $432 million in the second quarter of 2026. Its health business benefits from demand for products that help customers manage healthcare expenses and financial protection needs.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Globe Life due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Globe Life Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Globe Life Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates on Escalating Expenses

Globe Life Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 net operating income of $3.61 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.67 by 1.6%. The bottom line, however, improved 10% year over year, driven by higher insurance underwriting income. The quarter benefited from higher premium revenues, stronger insurance underwriting income, and increased investment income. Higher premium revenues reflected continued strength across the company’s life and health insurance businesses.

GL Benefits From Premium Growth Across Insurance BusinessTotal premium revenues increased 7% year over year to $1.30 billion. Life insurance premiums rose 3% to $860.8 million, while health insurance premiums climbed 16% to $436.9 million, supported by strong growth at United American and Family Heritage. Operating revenues increased 8% year over year to $1.60 billion, driven by higher premium income, stronger net investment income and realized investment gains. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.6%.

Globe Life Posts Higher Underwriting and Investment IncomeInsurance underwriting income increased 5% year over year to $370.3 million. Life underwriting income rose 6% to $359.4 million, while health underwriting income edged up 1% to $99.3 million. Net investment income rose 4% year over year to $293.8 million. Excess investment income, a key profitability measure, rose 10% to $38.3 million as higher investment income more than offset increased required interest on policy liabilities.

Administrative expenses were up 6.2% year over year to $91.4 million.
Total benefits and expenses increased 6.5% year over year to $1.2 billion, primarily due to higher total policyholder benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs, commissions, premium taxes and non-deferred acquisition costs, interest expense and other operating expense.

GL's Distribution Channels Deliver Mixed ResultsLife insurance premium growth was led by the American Income division, where premiums increased 5% year over year to $466.3 million. Liberty National premiums rose 3%, while Direct to Consumer premiums slipped 1%.

Globe Life (GL - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.61 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.67 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.27 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1.64%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this life and health insurance company would post earnings of $3.46 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.43, delivering a surprise of -0.87%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

Globe Life, which belongs to the Zacks Insurance - Accident and Health industry, posted revenues of $1.59 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.22%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.5 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Globe Life shares have added about 31.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.7%.

What's Next for Globe Life?While Globe Life has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Globe Life was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $4.71 on $1.61 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $15.64 on $6.4 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Insurance - Accident and Health is currently in the top 29% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Trupanion (TRUP - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.

This provider of medical insurance covering cats and dogs is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -50%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Trupanion's revenues are expected to be $389.65 million, up 10.2% from the year-ago quarter.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net operating income, a non-GAAP(1) financial measure, has been used consistently by Globe Life's management for many years to evaluate the operating performance of the Company, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. It differs from net income primarily because it excludes certain non-operating items such as realized investment gains and losses and certain significant and unusual items included in net income. Management believes an analysis of net operating income is important in understanding the profitability and operating trends of the Company's business. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

MANAGEMENT VS. GAAP MEASURES

Shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, and book value per share, excluding AOCI, are non-GAAP measures that are utilized by management to view the business without the effect of changes in AOCI, which are primarily attributable to fluctuation in interest rates. Management views the business in this manner because it creates more meaningful and easily identifiable trends, as we exclude fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates. Shareholders' equity and book value per share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

INSURANCE UNDERWRITING INCOME

Insurance underwriting margin is management's measure of profitability of the Company's life and health segments' underwriting performance, and consists of premiums less policy obligations (excluding interest on policy liabilities), commissions and other acquisition expenses. Insurance underwriting income is the sum of the insurance underwriting margins of the life and health segments, plus annuity and other income, less administrative expenses. It excludes the investment segment, interest on debt, Parent Company expense, stock compensation expense and income taxes. Management believes this information helps provide a better understanding of the business and a more meaningful analysis of underwriting results by distribution channel. Insurance underwriting income, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of net operating income, which is reconciled to net income in the Results of Operations section above.

The following table summarizes Globe Life's insurance underwriting income by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

INVESTMENTS

Management uses excess investment income as the measure to evaluate the performance of the investment segment. It is defined as net investment income less the required interest attributable to policy liabilities. We also view excess investment income per diluted common share as an important and useful measure to evaluate performance of the investment segment, since it takes into consideration our stock repurchase program.

LIQUIDITY/CAPITAL:

Globe Life's operations consist primarily of writing basic protection life and supplemental health insurance policies which generate strong and stable cash flows. These cash flows are not impacted by volatile equity markets. Liquidity at the Parent Company is sufficient to meet additional capital needs of the insurance companies.

NON-GAAP MEASURES:

In this news release, Globe Life includes non-GAAP measures to enhance investors' understanding of management's view of the business. The non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP, but rather a supplement to increase transparency by providing broader perspective. Globe Life's definitions of non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies' definitions. More detailed financial information, including various GAAP and non-GAAP measurements, is located at https://investors.globelifeinsurance.com on the Investors page under "Financial Reports and Other Financial Information."

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These prospective statements reflect management's current expectations, but are not guarantees of future performance. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable events or developments, which may be national in scope, related to the insurance industry generally, or applicable to the Company specifically. Such events or developments could include, but are not necessarily limited to:

1) Economic and other conditions, including the impact of inflation, immigration, geopolitical events, escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures imposed by the U.S. and other countries, and other governmental actions on the U.S. economy and/or U.S. consumer confidence, leading to unexpected changes in lapse rates and/or sales of our policies, as well as levels of mortality, morbidity, and utilization of health care services that differ from Globe Life's assumptions;

2) Regulatory developments, including changes in accounting standards or governmental regulations (particularly those impacting taxes and changes to the Federal Medicare program that would affect Medicare Supplement);

3) Market trends in the senior-aged health care industry that provide alternatives to traditional Medicare (such as Health Maintenance Organizations and other managed care or private plans) and that could affect the sales of traditional Medicare Supplement insurance;

4) Ratings changes with respect to our financial strength and credit ratings and potential adverse impacts to liquidity;

5) Interest rate changes that affect product sales, financing costs, and/or investment yields;

6) General economic, industry sector or individual debt issuers' financial conditions (including developments and volatility arising from geopolitical events, particularly in certain industries that may compromise part of our investment portfolio) that may affect the current market value of securities we own, or that may impair an issuer's ability to make principal and/or interest payments due on those securities;

In the first quarter of 2026, operating EPS increased 12% year over year, marking the seventh quarter of double-digit operating EPS growth in the past eight quarters. The company also benefited from higher premiums across its Life Insurance and Health Insurance segments, providing a solid foundation for sustained earnings expansion. In the first quarter, total premiums grew 6% year over year to $1.3 billion.

Moreover, net investment income continues to be another important driver of the company’s top-line growth and has been improving over the last few years, benefiting from higher portfolio yields and disciplined investment management. The company expects investment income to continue growing in 2026, supported by elevated reinvestment yields and its conservative, high-quality investment portfolio.

Improved agent productivity, expanding distribution and growth at the American Income, Liberty National, United American and Family Heritage divisions are expected to support continued sales growth in 2026. These efforts have fueled strong sales momentum, with health sales surging 58% in the first quarter of 2026 and life sales increasing 6% across all distribution channels.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as an important long-term growth driver for Globe Life. The company expects AI to improve underwriting, claims processing, customer service, agent productivity, lower administrative expenses and drive long-term margin expansion, strengthening Globe Life's competitive position.

The company has maintained a strong liquidity position with sufficient cash-generation capabilities. For 2026, GL anticipates excess cash flow to increase to approximately $650-$700 million. Globe Life has targeted a consolidated Company Action Level RBC ratio of 300-320% for 2026.

The company returned approximately $225 million to shareholders during the first quarter of 2026. The insurer has continuously increased its dividend over the past five years, witnessing a CAGR of 8.9%.

ConclusionGlobe Life’s higher life and health sales, improved investment income, premium growth, AI initiatives, strong liquidity position and effective capital deployment position the company well for long-term growth.
