Unum Q2 Revenue Tops Estimates by $410M, Raises Full-Year EPS Guidance
UNM sits 24% above its 52-week low of $68.275.
Summary
Unum Group delivered a strong Q2, with revenue of $3.37 billion handily beating the $2.96 billion consensus. Premium growth of 3.6% on a constant currency basis drove the beat, supported by higher sales and persistency in core operations. Net income came in at $256.9 million, and the company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $8.60–$8.90, signaling confidence in the back half. The quarter also saw about $200 million in share repurchases, adding to shareholder returns. This follows the major long-term care reinsurance transaction announced earlier in July, which is expected to close in the second half of 2026 and further de-risk the balance sheet.
