Unum (UNM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group's positive outlook is bolstered by the anticipated improvement in free cash flow generation attributed to higher interest rates impacting its long-term care insurance business favorably. The successful internal reinsurance transaction that released approximately $630 million in capital enhances the firm's financial flexibility and positions it more favorably compared to competitors, allowing for stronger support of its diverse product offerings. Additionally, the healthy employment market is expected to further drive growth and margins within Unum's group benefits operations, reinforcing the company's competitive standing in the insurance sector.
Bears say
Unum Group faces a challenging outlook due to a combination of factors that are expected to negatively impact its earnings and growth potential. A projected decline in earnings per share (EPS) estimates by approximately 2% for 2025, influenced by economic conditions such as potential recessions and rising unemployment, threatens both the company's growth trajectory and margin stability. Furthermore, increased mortality and morbidity rates could further strain core business margins, while the impacts from ceded blocks related to individual disability insurance are anticipated to contribute to a long-term decrease in earnings power, intensifying concerns about the firm's overall valuation.
