Re: Unumprovident Corp (UNM) $ 52.11

I ran the Graham Number calculation for UNM and it came in at 87% UNDERVALUED!

Link to calculator result: BV = $49.48/share
2024 estimated earnings = $8.18/share
GN Value: $95.43/share

Unum Group provides disability insurance, long-term care insurance, life insurance, employer- & employee-paid group benefits and related services. UnumProvident classifies its operations into five segments: Income Protection, Life and Accident, Colonial, Corporate, and Other. The company modified its reporting segments to separate its U.S. business from its U.K. subsidiary, Unum Ltd. The company's business operations are now segmented as follows: Unum U.S. segment provides U.S. group income protection insurance, group life & accidental death and dismemberment products, and supplemental & voluntary lines of business comprising individual income protection. The company is changing its distribution focus for individual disability insurance to workplace distribution as opposed to individual setting distribution. Colonial Life segment provides life, cancer, critical illness, accident and sickness and income protection insurance. Unum International segment provides group income protection and group life products

What are the unforeseen liabilities (ie Risks) if there are claims in excess to what is set aside and/or covered through other insurance companies? UNM is generating tons of FCF. It looks like they are spending large sums every year in "investments purchases" which I assume are their set asides for future policy claims.

Looks like Ditchdigger & Rarebird are/were shareholders in late 2023. Stock is at an All Time High & appears STILL significantly undervalued (at least according to B. Graham).
