48

out of 100

Unum Group earns a fundamental-quality score of 48 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its financial strength (FCF margin 5.2%). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +0.3%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Unum is the disability-insurance leader of the United States and Britain: employer-purchased policies paying a worker's salary when illness or accident prevents them from working. A stable actuarial niche with a historic shadow: its legacy long-term-care book.

What will shape its future

  • Employment and wages: its premiums grow with the payrolls it insures.
  • The legacy long-term-care book, the inheritance demanding capital.
  • Interest rates, which pay a return on its decades-long reserves.

The score combines growth, profitability and financial strength. Here its financial strength weighs in its favor, while its growth drags it down the most.
