Analysis · GL · Finance
EVP and Chief Strategy Officer Michael Clay Majors exercised options for 37,000 shares at $103.23 and immediately sold all of them for $6.61 million, averaging $178.56–$179.35 per share. This adds to a pattern of significant insider selling at Globe Life, with four insiders unloading over $26 million in the past 90 days. While the sale represents only 0.073% of market cap, the consistent distribution by top executives—including the CEO and CFO—raises questions about insider confidence despite strong Q2 results and raised guidance.
