Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group operates in a buoyant life insurance industry characterized by improved liability management and enhanced returns, contributing to its robust financial performance. The company benefits from a strong group benefits franchise that has achieved mid-single-digit premium growth, alongside impressive metrics of over 20% return on equity and more than 90% free cash flow conversion. Additionally, favorable macroeconomic conditions, including higher interest rates and demographic trends, further support Unum's growth potential and operational stability.
Bears say
Unum Group is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a downward revision in projected earnings per share (EPS) for 2025 and 2026, which has been adjusted to $8.48 and $9.25 from prior estimates of $8.79 and $9.55, respectively. This change stems from higher group disability benefit ratios, projected at 62% for 2025 and 63% for 2026, alongside slightly weaker earnings from the Closed Block segment. Additionally, long-term care (LTC) incidence rates are exceeding previous expectations, compounded by risks associated with GAAP assumption reviews expected in the third quarter of 2025, despite sufficient reserves to mitigate capital risks.
