Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) delivers employer-sponsored financial protection products-including disability, life, and critical-illness coverage-across the United States, United Kingdom, and Poland through its Unum US, Unum International, Colonial Life, and Closed Block segments.
In its latest fiscal quarter (Q4 2025), Unum reported revenue of $2.1 billion, earnings per share of $3.45, and a combined ratio of 95.2%, reflecting disciplined underwriting; the company generated a return on equity of 12.5% and maintained a dividend yield near 3.2%.
Key drivers for the life-and-health insurance sector remain robust demand for employee-benefit plans, an aging workforce that fuels disability and long-term care needs, and rising medical-inflation pressures that influence claim costs and pricing strategies.
