Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, L's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 3%, free-cash-flow payout 2%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout3% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout2% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Loews Corporation looks technically
Loews Corporation (L) is trading 1.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 809 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-06-22, breaking below its recent trading range.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 1.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +1.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $113.53 | $113.53 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $108.36 | $108.36 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 24 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 24 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 120.995. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 809 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 809 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 18.5 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 30, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 30.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($109.77 to $117.01) — its "stochastic" reading is 1 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 0.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 16 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $121.00 | $121.00 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 9.2% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -9.2% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 16.4% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +16.4% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 9.2% below its highest point of the past year | 9.2% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-06-22, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 19 trading days ago | 19 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $121.00 (set on 2026-07-28) | $121.00 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($94.59 to $119.40), and it has given back roughly a third of its rise from last year’s low — 39% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $103.27 to $104.07. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 38.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 9.2% below its all-time high | -9.2% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.5% below a resistance level at $111.45 — a price it turned at four times since 2026-03-02, most recently on 2026-07-15. Since 2024-08-21 it has 10 such levels below the current price and 2 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +1.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $17.40 (set on 2009-03-06) | $17.40 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 531.2% above its all-time low | +531.2% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 73% of it) | 73rd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.86 between its high and its low — about 1.7% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $1.86 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $109.24 and $119.87 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $109.24 – $114.56 – $119.87 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 1.7% in a typical session — among the calmest in the catalog. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 1.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.8 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (1.4% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 0.8 daily ranges above its 200-day average |
Volume

| Volume vs its 30-day average | trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average | 1.02× |

Price gaps
1
| Open gap | it gapped 2.4% above the previous close 48 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 105.97 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.4% |
|---|
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 3 sessions in a row, a -2.33% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 3 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 0.7% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.7% of the share price. | -0.7% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is sitting right on the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is roughly break-even. That average is $109.54 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +0.3% |
|---|

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $121.00.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This labelling was already in place when we began recording count changes on 2026-08-13, so how long it has stood is not something we can say yet.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing references Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025 (vs. December 31, 2024 in older filing)
- Newer filing reports three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (vs. three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 in older filing)
- Newer filing shows Loews Hotels & Co net income of $26 million for Q1 2026 (vs. loss of $3 million for Q3 2025)
- Newer filing notes Loews Hotels & Co increase 'primarily due to higher equity income from joint ventures, driven mainly by the Universal Orlando Resort joint ventures'
- Newer filing includes reference to Note 14 in current Form 10-K (vs. Note 15 in older filing)
- Newer filing discusses 'higher contracting rates and utilization-based revenues on gas transportation, as well as higher rates on storage, parking and lending' for Boardwalk Pipelines
- Removed:
- Older filing included 'Recent Legislation' section in table of contents (page 67 in older)
- Older filing provided nine months ended September 30 comparison data (not in newer Q1 filing)
- Older filing included detailed discussion of nine-month period results
- Older filing discussed 'lower catastrophe losses' as driver for CNA improvements
- Older filing discussed 'unfavorable net prior year loss reserve development, including development related to legacy mass tort abuse reserves' for nine-month period
- Reworded:
- Consolidated Financial Results table structure changed from 'Three Months Ended' and 'Nine Months Ended' September 30 to 'Three Months Ended' March 31 only
- Net income per share changed from $2.43 basic/$2.43 diluted (Q3 2025) to $1.63 basic/diluted (Q1 2026)
- CNA Financial net income changed from $371 million (Q3 2025) to $194 million (Q1 2026)

- Notes:
- Older filing is for Q3 2025 (nine-month period), newer filing is for Q1 2026 (three-month period), making direct operational comparisons difficult
- Text of newer filing appears truncated at end of CNA Financial section ('management believes some inves'), limiting full assessment of changes in that section
- Different fiscal periods (Q1 2026 vs. Q3 2025) mean many differences reflect seasonal and period-specific variations rather than actual business changes

Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
L had 4,361,297 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
L had 2.13% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 5.54 days to cover at the same settlement.

- Prior settlement (shares) 4,416,919
- Reported change -1.26%

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
