Unum (UNM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group operates in a steadily improving life insurance industry, characterized by enhanced returns, reduced liability risks, and strong free cash flow conversion. The company benefits from a favorable operating environment driven by higher interest rates, demographic trends, and technological advancements, contributing to mid-single-digit premium growth and robust profitability. Additionally, Unum maintains a competitive advantage through its established group benefits franchise, which generates over 20% return on equity (ROE) and exhibits more than 90% free cash flow conversion.
Bears say
Unum Group's earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026 have been downgraded to $8.48 and $9.25, respectively, due to higher group disability benefit ratios projected at 62% and 63%, signaling increased costs related to claims. Additionally, a slight decrease in closed block earnings has raised concerns about the sustainability of revenue from this segment, further contributing to the cautious outlook. Increased long-term care incidence rates and potential GAAP assumption review risks add to the uncertainty surrounding the company's financial health, despite indicating no immediate capital risk.
