Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (ISIN US38267D1090) opened at USD 51.70 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at USD 1.84 billion. The stock remains between a 52-week low of USD 33.68 and a high of USD 80.03, giving the latest quote a clearly measurable position within its annual range.

July earnings beat estimates

Goosehead Insurance reported earnings of USD 0.64 per share for the quarter announced on July 22, 2026, exceeding the consensus estimate of USD 0.47 by USD 0.17, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. The 36.2 percent difference between reported EPS and consensus is the clearest operating data point behind the current valuation discussion.

The same report identified a price-to-earnings ratio of 37.74 and a price-to-earnings-growth ratio of 1.94. Those multiples place the earnings beat alongside a valuation that still requires continued profit delivery rather than relying on a single quarterly result.

Target remains above the quote

Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated an Overweight rating and a USD 76.00 price target on July 23, 2026, according to MarketBeat. Compared with the September 22 opening price of USD 51.70, that target is USD 24.30 higher, while the portal listed an average analyst target of USD 68.45 and an overall Hold consensus on the same date.

The gap between the opening quote and the cited average target is USD 16.75, or 32.4 percent of the opening price. This comparison is descriptive rather than a forecast: the stock also trades USD 28.33 below its 52-week high, so the market has not yet returned to the strongest level of the past year.

Stock stays below yearly high

Goosehead Insurance opened at USD 51.70 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026. Its 50-day moving average was USD 62.92 and its 200-day moving average was USD 50.10, making the opening price USD 11.22 below the shorter trend line but USD 1.60 above the longer trend line.

For investors, the operating signal is the July EPS beat, while the market signal is the distance between the current quote, the moving averages and the USD 80.03 yearly high. The combination leaves the stock close to its 200-day average but well below the 50-day average.
