Unum (UNM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group's stock outlook is positively influenced by its dominant position in the group benefits market, showcasing mid-single-digit premium growth and over 20% return on equity (ROE). The firm benefits from a favorable operating environment characterized by higher interest rates, demographic trends, and advancements in technology, all contributing to improved growth prospects. Additionally, Unum Group demonstrates robust financial health with over 90% free cash flow conversion, indicating effective capital management and operational efficiency.
Bears say
Unum Group has revised its 2025 and 2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimates downward to $8.48 and $9.25, respectively, indicating a concern over higher group disability benefit ratios projected at 62% and 63% for those years, alongside weaker earnings from its closed block segment. Additionally, increased long-term care (LTC) incidence rates, which are surpassing long-term expectations, add further uncertainty to the company's financial outlook. Despite the presence of reserves and capital supportive of the LTC segment, the potential need for a review of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) assumptions in the upcoming third quarter raises further risks to the company's financial stability.
