Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are five key points highlighting the stock movement of Loews (L) for the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025: 1. Strong Third Quarter 2025 Financial Performance. Loews Corporation reported a significant increase in its third-quarter 2025 net income, reaching $504 million, or $2.43 per share, compared to $401 million, or $1.82 per share, in the third quarter of 2024. This represented a 26% rise in net income and a 34% increase in diluted EPS year-over-year. Consolidated revenues for the quarter were reported at $4.67 billion.

CNA's core income jumped 40% to $409 million, driven by lower catastrophe losses, improved underlying underwriting results, and higher net investment income. Concurrently, Boardwalk Pipelines, the natural gas transportation and storage segment, reported a 7% increase in EBITDA to $267 million and a 22% rise in net income to $94 million, fueled by higher re-contracting rates and contributions from recently completed growth projects.
