# Loews Corporation (L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Insurance. Price $109.30, market value $22.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.4×** (5-yr avg 12.8×, 3-yr avg 12.4×). Loews Corporation trades at 13.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 12.8×. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 37.7×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 1.55**. A PEG of 1.55 is in the range usually read as fairly priced for its growth.
- **Price / sales: 6.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 6.9×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.9%** (5-yr avg 15.8%). Free cash flow equals 7.9% of the market value, below its five-year average of 15.8%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 7.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 52.5%**. 52.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.9%**. 8.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 2.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.0% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 9.7%** (3-yr 15.0%/yr, 5-yr 2.4%/yr). Revenue grew 9.7% over the last year, against 2.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 24.3%** (3-yr 33.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 24.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 0.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 0.6% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 0.23%** ($0.25 per share, trailing). Loews Corporation yields 0.23%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 3%** (3% of free cash flow). 3% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 26**. 26 straight years of increases (the data covers 26 years, so this may be longer): a record very few companies hold.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 0.0%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 12.3%** (YTD 3.9%, 3-mo 1.6%). The shares are up 12.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -9.7%** (14.7% above the low). Trading 10% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 38**. An RSI of 38 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.04** (volatility 16%). Beta of 0.04 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
