These 3 Insurance Stocks Made New 52-Week Highs: Still Time to Buy?
By Dan Schmidt. Published: 6/7/2026.
Key Points
- Commercial property and casualty insurance premiums fell 1.2% in Q1 2026, the first quarterly decline since 2017, weighing on the broader insurance sector.
- Insurance stocks with little or no P&C exposure, including MetLife, Globe Life, and Unum Group, have outperformed the sector by focusing on life, group benefits, and supplemental health lines.
- Unum Group and Globe Life trade at steep valuation discounts of 9x and 10x forward earnings, respectively, while both companies recently raised dividends and posted solid Q1 2026 earnings results.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
Defensive investing has been left in the dust by the high-flying semiconductor rally, and plenty of individual sectors are lagging the broader market.
Despite a whiplash-inducing correction following the start of the Iran war, the S&P 500 is now up around 10% year-to-date (YTD). But the rally has been narrow, and the market has become sharply divided between stocks with AI connections and those without, which puts the insurance sector in perilous territory. However, not every insurance stock is lagging the market.
BUY THIS: Claim a backdoor stake in SpaceX (Ad)
Marc Chaikin, the Wall Street veteran who spotted Nvidia before a 45,000% run, says there's a simple trade available in your brokerage account today that offers backdoor pre-IPO exposure to SpaceX.
With the IPO date approaching, Chaikin believes this position could benefit from as high as a $122 billion windfall on IPO day - and he warns against buying in on day one due to potential price instability.
See exactly how to make this trade before SpaceX goes publicIn fact, some are making new 52-week highs, in large part because they’re avoiding a particularly problematic niche of the market: property and casualty.
A look at a pair of insurance ETFs shows how bifurcated the market has become. The iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (NYSE: IAK) is down about 2% YTD, but the Invesco KBW Property and Casualty ETF (NASDAQ: KBWP) is down more than 5% so far in 2026.
Commercial P&C pricing is the main culprit behind the divergence. According to the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers, commercial P&C premiums fell 1.2% in Q1 2026, marking the first quarter of premium price declines since 2017. Property premiums took the biggest hit, dropping 5.8% in a “notable acceleration” from the previous two periods.
The insurance indices are heavily weighted toward large-cap P&C carriers like Progressive Corp. (NYSE: PGR), Chubb Ltd. (NYSE: CB), and Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV), which are sitting in the crosshairs of the softening price cycle. But companies in the life, group benefits, and supplemental health segments are sheltered from commercial P&C price declines. As the P&C pricing cycle rolls over, the value and benefits industry remains undervalued, and that’s exactly the area we’re going to explore with our stock selections here.
The key theme when picking insurance stocks in this cycle is insulation from the commercial P&C segment. Each of the following three firms has little P&C exposure and a limited, or no, presence in the major indices.
MetLife: Diversified Compounder With Strong Dividend
MetLife Inc. (NYSE: MET) is the only insurance stock listed here with a significant weight in the indices, accounting for about 5% of IAK’s holdings, but it can’t be blamed for the poor performance.
MET shares are up more than 17% in the last three months, driven by a broad earnings beat and dividend increase.
In the company’s Q1 2026 numbers released on May 6, MetLife reported adjusted earnings of $1.6 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.42, up 18% and 23%, respectively. The company also returned more than $1 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. The dividend now pays $2.37 per share annually following the raise, marking the 12th consecutive year of payout increases.
The stock also has momentum after finally breaking through a multi-year resistance level around $83. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms the bullish momentum, suggesting that this breakout could have staying power.
Globe Life: Deep Value Escaping the Index Drawdown
Globe Life Inc. (NYSE: GL) focuses on life and supplemental health insurance for lower- and middle-income households.
While mid-market life and supplemental insurance aren’t high-growth industries, they do provide steady, long-duration cash flows that are less prone to cyclicality.
The company reported Q1 2026 results approximately in line with market expectations, and management raised full-year operating EPS guidance to $15.40-$15.90. No need for a blowout report here, with the stock trading at just 10x forward earnings, a steep discount to both the insurance sector (12x earnings) and the S&P 500 (22x earnings).
The chart is showing some positive technical momentum as well. Now that the RSI is firmly in bullish territory, the stock’s breakout above the 50-day moving average could be sustainable. Former resistance areas often become support during breakouts, and the 50-day MA appears to be a new line in the sand for GL shares.
Unum Group: Low-Risk, High-Yield Employment Insurer
Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) also lacks representation in the major indices despite its steady franchise of employment-linked and group disability carriers, such as Colonial Life. Index providers may want to remedy this mistake, as this company may be the best bargain of the bunch.
The stock trades at just 9x forward earnings and 1.06x sales despite a 16% gain over the last three months, boosted by a top- and bottom-line Q1 2026 earnings beat. Revenue grew 8% year-over-year (YOY), largely due to fading risk in the long-term care segment, and management boosted the dividend for the 17th consecutive year.
A low-beta insurer with a strong dividend and a derisking narrative is like a lightbulb for value-investing moths. The stock is in the midst of a healthy breakout, notching new all-time highs with a Golden Cross forming at the 50-day and 200-day MAs. The RSI is also cooperating, maintaining its bullish level without crossing the Overbought threshold. More highs are likely on the way for this under-the-radar compounding machine.
Build On a Strong Earnings Season With These 3 ETFs
By Nathan Reiff. Published: 6/12/2026.
Key Points
- Broad earnings success for Q1 2026 may encourage investors to seek out ways to tap into momentum across sectors.
- ETFs like MTUM and QMOM provide unique means of accessing momentum stocks in order to capitalize on growth while controlling risk.
- CAPE takes a different approach: by seeking out undervalued stocks, it may target names that are poised for big growth in the future.
- Special Report: SpaceX is offering you shares. Don't take them.
Despite numerous reasons investors might have expected otherwise, 2026 appears to be off to an excellent start across many parts of the market. As shown by strong earnings growth that often topped analyst expectations, healthy revenue growth, and continued margin expansion, a market buoyed by AI investment has thrived.
While not every corner of the market has flourished, the boom has extended beyond the information technology sector—financial stocks have also performed well, for instance. For investors, there may be motivation to try to capitalize on broad strength with diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Ideally, these investments can help capture some of the market's overall growth while also shielding investors from risks specific to any individual stock. One fund for broad momentum, one based on price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, and one focused on momentum quality and consistency may be a place to start.
A Momentum-Focused Fund With Market-Beating Returns
BUY THIS: Claim a backdoor stake in SpaceX (Ad)
Marc Chaikin, the Wall Street veteran who spotted Nvidia before a 45,000% run, says there's a simple trade available in your brokerage account today that offers backdoor pre-IPO exposure to SpaceX.
With the IPO date approaching, Chaikin believes this position could benefit from as high as a $122 billion windfall on IPO day - and he warns against buying in on day one due to potential price instability.
See exactly how to make this trade before SpaceX goes publicThe iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (BATS: MTUM) is one of the low-cost factor-based ETFs that, as a group, have gained significant popularity in recent years. This fund targets a group of large-cap U.S. equities that have recently shown strong share price momentum.
Its underlying index helps ensure diversification across sectors, and the weighting within each sector keeps the overall portfolio from becoming too narrowly focused.
The result is a fund with about half of its portfolio dedicated to technology stocks, with none of its nearly 130 positions accounting for more than 6.5% of invested assets. The fund is robust, with close to $26 billion in assets under management and a healthy one-month average trading volume of around 1.5 million.
In terms of performance, the momentum play continues to be strong: MTUM has returned around 25% year-to-date (YTD) and 35% over the last 12 months. A modest dividend yield of 0.7% may help sweeten the deal further. Overall, MTUM is a strong offering for a relatively low fee of 0.15% per year.
Unique CAPE-Based Value Fund With a Dividend Add-On
Economist Robert Shiller's CAPE ratio remains a highly popular valuation metric, and the Shiller CAPE U.S. Equities ETF (NYSEARCA: CAPE) translates this approach into a diversified fund. CAPE seeks to focus on large-cap U.S. equities from the four cheapest sectors, as determined by the CAPE ratio, with a secondary momentum strategy designed to avoid the impact of potential value traps.
As of April 30, 2026, CAPE held information technology stocks, real estate firms, health care names, and consumer discretionary companies. However, it is rebalanced monthly to keep the strategy timely in light of market trends. The approach is unique but has had mixed results recently: CAPE is trading roughly flat YTD. This shows that even if a sector appears undervalued, it does not guarantee that stocks within that sector will immediately produce returns.
For investors, CAPE may appeal most as a buy-and-hold ETF. Part of this is due to its relatively modest asset base of just over a quarter of a billion dollars and its similarly small trading volume. At the same time, the fund's expense ratio is fairly high at 0.65%, though that is offset by a 1.3% dividend yield.
Quality of Momentum Is Key for This Specialized Active Fund
The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (NASDAQ: QMOM) is another momentum-based fund. In this case, QMOM factors in one-year returns and, more specifically, a history of small, consistent daily upward price moves rather than a smaller number of spikes. This fund also focuses on smaller stocks, expecting that these firms will receive less analyst coverage and may therefore offer more mispricing opportunities to capitalize on.
QMOM is an actively managed fund, but its expense ratio of 0.28% would not necessarily suggest that. All told, the ETF holds just over 50 different U.S. equity positions, all of which are roughly equally weighted (no single name represents more than 2.5% of the portfolio). Its largest holdings include Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL) and TD SYNNEX Corp. (NYSE: SNX), although the fund does not completely lean on tech names.
QMOM's approach has generally been successful: the fund has returned close to 17% YTD and offers an appealing dividend yield of about 1.2%. While not massively popular, its asset base is approaching half a billion dollars. This fund may therefore appeal to investors seeking a momentum play slightly off the beaten path—and one that may be uniquely responsive to strong, sustained earnings performance among companies.
