Unum (UNM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Unum (UNM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Unum Group operates in a improving life insurance industry, characterized by enhanced returns, reduced liability tail risk, and robust free cash flow conversion over the past decade. The current operating environment favors growth due to higher interest rates, demographic trends, and advancements in technology, all of which support Unum's strong performance. With a leading position in the group benefits market, Unum Group is achieving mid-single-digit premium growth, over 20% return on equity, and more than 90% free cash flow conversion, indicating a solid financial foundation that underpins a positive outlook.
Bears say
Unum Group has lowered its 2025 and 2026 earnings per share (EPS) estimates to $8.48 and $9.25, respectively, citing increased group disability benefit ratios of 62% and 63%, coupled with weaker earnings from its closed block segment. Furthermore, the company is experiencing higher than anticipated long-term care incidence, which introduces additional volatility and potential risks related to GAAP assumptions being reviewed in the upcoming quarter. The adjustments in financial expectations reflect ongoing challenges within its core disability insurance offerings and lingering uncertainties from pandemic-related effects.
