Loews (L) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Loews Corporation (NYSE:L) is a diversified holding company headquartered in New York City. Its principal businesses operate in insurance, energy infrastructure, hospitality and packaging, giving the company exposure to several industries rather than relying on a single operating segment.

Loews owns a controlling interest in CNA Financial, a commercial property and casualty insurance company that provides insurance products and services to businesses and organizations. It also owns Boardwalk Pipelines, which operates interstate natural gas transmission and storage systems, and Loews Hotels & Co., a hospitality company that manages and develops hotels and resorts in the United States and Canada. In addition, Loews owns Altium Packaging, a manufacturer of rigid plastic containers serving markets such as food and beverage, household products, personal care and specialty chemicals.

The company traces its history to 1959, when brothers Laurence Tisch and Preston Robert Tisch acquired Loew’s Theatres. Over time, Loews shifted from its original theater operations toward a diversified corporate structure built around insurance, energy infrastructure and other businesses. The Tisch family has remained closely associated with the company, including through leadership roles and significant ownership. Loews continues to be managed as a long-term holding company focused on its operating subsidiaries and disciplined capital allocation.
