Loews (L) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Loews Corporation (NYSE:L) is a diversified holding company whose businesses operate primarily in the insurance, energy infrastructure, hospitality and packaging sectors. Rather than operating as a single-industry company, Loews manages a portfolio of independently run subsidiaries and focuses on long-term ownership, financial strength and disciplined capital allocation.

Its principal businesses include CNA Financial Corporation, a commercial property and casualty insurance provider; Boardwalk Pipelines, which owns and operates natural gas pipeline and storage assets; Loews Hotels & Co., which manages luxury and upper-upscale hotels and resorts; and Altium Packaging, a manufacturer of rigid plastic containers and packaging solutions. These operations serve customers mainly in the United States, with certain hospitality and business activities extending into other markets.

Loews traces its history to 1959, when Laurence Tisch and his brother Preston Tisch acquired control of the Loew’s Theatres chain. The company subsequently developed into a diversified holding company through investments in insurance, energy, hospitality and manufacturing. James S. Tisch serves as president and chief executive officer, while Jonathan Tisch and Andrew H. Tisch serve as co-chairmen.
