Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group operates in a strengthening life insurance industry that has seen improvements over the past decade, including reduced liability tail risk and enhanced returns, positioning the company favorably for future growth. The company benefits from a constructive operating environment characterized by higher interest rates, demographic shifts, and advancements in technology, which are contributing to its resilient performance. Unum Group's leading group benefits franchise is reflected in its impressive financial metrics, including mid-single-digit premium growth, return on equity exceeding 20%, and a free cash flow conversion rate above 90%.
Bears say
Unum Group faces a downward revision in its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026, with projections lowered to $8.48 and $9.25, respectively, due to increased group disability benefit ratios and weaker earnings from the Closed Block segment. The projected benefit ratios are estimated at 62% and 63% for 2025 and 2026, indicating pressure on profitability despite still being categorized as strong. Additionally, ongoing concerns regarding higher than expected long-term care (LTC) incidence rates and potential risks related to GAAP assumptions could further complicate the company’s financial outlook.
