Unum (UNM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group has demonstrated a strong market position within the life insurance industry, characterized by mid-single-digit premium growth and return on equity (ROE) exceeding 20%. The company's operational performance benefits from a favorable environment marked by higher interest rates, demographic trends, and technological advancements, which collectively enhance growth prospects. Additionally, Unum Group maintains an impressive free cash flow conversion rate of over 90%, highlighting its efficiency and ability to generate cash from its operations.
Bears say
Unum Group's earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2025 and 2026 have been revised downward to $8.48 and $9.25, respectively, from previous projections of $8.79 and $9.55, primarily due to increased group disability benefit ratios expected to reach 62% and 63% in those years, alongside slightly weaker earnings from the Closed Block segment. There are also indications that long-term care (LTC) incidence rates are exceeding prior expectations, presenting a risk that could misalign with GAAP assumptions in the upcoming third quarter. These factors contribute to a negative outlook for Unum Group, highlighting concerns over profitability and the company's ability to manage increasing insurance claims amid a volatile economic environment.
