Unum Group ( (UNM) ) has shared an update.
On July 2, 2026, Unum Life Insurance Company of America agreed to a major coinsurance reinsurance transaction with Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. to transfer a closed block of individual long-term care policies. The deal will reinsure $3.8 billion of statutory reserves, covering about 50,000 individual policies previously reinsured to captive subsidiary Fairwind Insurance Company, with Unum retaining administration and claims handling.
Combined with a prior long-term care reinsurance deal completed in 2025, Unum’s cumulative reduction in long-term care statutory reserves will reach roughly 40%, materially shrinking its legacy closed block exposure. Unum expects limited impact on operating earnings and to preserve strong capital metrics after closing, signalling continued strategic focus on its core employee benefits business and a lower risk profile for shareholders and policyholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (UNM) stock is a Buy
with a $100.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on UNM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, UNM is a Outperform.
UNM scores well primarily on solid underlying financial strength (manageable leverage and healthy cash generation) and constructive technicals (price in an established uptrend with neutral-to-positive momentum). The score is held back by mixed valuation (P/E ~19.5 with recently weaker margins/ROE) despite supportive earnings-call guidance and capital return plans.
