GL's Short Interest Surges 64% Amid Insider Selling

Watch: Watch GL's Q1 2026 earnings and guidance to gauge if the company can reverse sector deceleration or if bearish pressure intensifies.

GL's short interest jumped 64% to 11,028 shares, a sharp rise from 6,722, with short % of float near negligible at 0.02%. This surge contrasts Truist Securities maintaining a Buy rating recently, indicating mixed sentiment. Insiders remain net sellers, with significant cluster selling far outweighing buys, and the stock is in a downtrend despite a slight 0.64% weekly gain.

Rising short interest and insider selling suggest growing market skepticism on GL’s near-term outlook despite analyst optimism, signaling caution on valuation and earnings momentum.
