Goosehead Insurance acts as the holding company for Goosehead Financial, LLC, which places personal insurance policies for households across the United States. It is best known for connecting customers with coverage for homes, autos, and other dwellings, along with more specialized protection such as flood, wind, and earthquake insurance, umbrella liability policies, and coverage for motorcycles and recreational vehicles. The lineup also extends to general liability and life insurance products.
The business runs through two channels, one made up of directly operated corporate locations and the other built on a network of franchise partners. As of the end of 2021, that franchise network had grown to 2,151 locations, reflecting how much of its reach comes through independent operators rather than company-run offices alone.
Goosehead Insurance was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Westlake, Texas. Its shares trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker GSHD.
Goosehead Insurance’s GekkoIndex — Gekko’s 0 to 100 smart money score — reads 64, in the Accumulation zone, down 2 points over five sessions.
