Primerica (PRI) Today: Truist Reaffirms $340 Price Target After Record Q3 ISP Sales; Institutions Shuffle Stakes — Nov. 9, 2025

by
9 November 2025
  • Truist keeps Primerica (NYSE: PRI) at Buy with a $340 price target, citing strength in Investment & Savings Products (ISP) and raising 2025–2026 EPS estimates. [1]
  • Q3 2025: Record $3.7B ISP sales (+28% YoY), $839.9M total revenue (+8%), and $6.33 diluted adjusted operating EPS (+11%). Dividend of $1.04 payable Dec. 15, 2025 (record Nov. 21). [2]
  • Valuation check: A recent Yahoo Finance analysis pegs a popular “fair value narrative” at $312.43; GuruFocus GF Value sits around $282–$283 versus the latest price in the $252–$253 area. [3]
  • Flows today: New 13F-based headlines show BNY Mellon modestly boosting its PRI stake; Vestmark trimmed holdings. [4]

What’s new today (Nov. 9, 2025)

Institutional positioning headlines are in focus. MarketBeat reports that Bank of New York Mellon Corp increased its PRI stake to about 318,653 shares (≈0.96% of the company), while separate filings show Vestmark Advisory Solutions sold 20,797 PRI shares. These are incremental moves but reinforce the theme of active rotation following last week’s results. [5]

Meanwhile, Truist’s post-earnings research remains supportive: the firm reaffirmed a $340 target and raised its EPS forecasts to $21.42 (2025) and $23.57 (2026), pointing to accelerating annuity momentum and broad ISP tailwinds. [6]

Analyst angle: Why the $340 target still stands

Truist highlights:

  • ISP outperformance vs. Street assumptions (Q3 ISP revenue forecast of ~$300M vs. ~$295M consensus at the time).
  • Industry life sales improvement in Q3, a supportive backdrop for Primerica’s core franchise.
  • A valuation framing near 14x the 2026 EPS estimate—slightly above the company’s 10‑year average multiple, justified by mix and margin dynamics in ISP. [7]

TipRanks’ daily wrap today also flagged bullish sentiment on PRI, with a Moderate Buy average rating and an average price target around the low‑$300s across covering brokers. [8]

Numbers that matter: Q3 2025 recap

Primerica’s third quarter, released Nov. 5, showed balanced execution across segments:

  • Revenue:$839.9M (+8% YoY)
  • Diluted adjusted operating EPS:$6.33 (+11% YoY)
  • Net income:$206.8M
  • ISP sales:$3.7B (record, +28% YoY)
  • Client asset values (end of quarter):$126.8B (record, +14% YoY)
  • Term Life: Net premiums +3%; adjusted direct premiums +5%
  • Capital returns:$129M in buybacks; $1.04 dividend payable Dec. 15 (record Nov. 21)
    These results followed an annual actuarial assumption review; management noted steady Term Life growth and persistent momentum in ISP. [9]

An Associated Press brief the same day corroborated EPS of $6.35 GAAP (vs. $6.33 on an adjusted operating basis) and net income of $206.8M. [10]

Several independent wrap‑ups also noted that revenue topped expectations (~$839.9M vs. ~$825M consensus at the time). [11]

Valuation snapshot: Where does PRI look “fair”?

  • Narrative fair value: A Yahoo Finance valuation note (Nov. 3–6 window) cites a widely used narrative model at $312.43—above the latest close—implying upside if growth and margins hold. [12]
  • GF Value (GuruFocus): Around $282–$283 today, suggesting modest undervaluation at current prices. [13]
  • 52‑week range: Roughly $231–$308 (context for where shares sit after this week’s move). [14]

Bottom line on valuation: differing models cluster between the high‑$200s and low‑$300s. With the stock last trading near $252–$253, PRI screens below many fair‑value markers following its post‑earnings drift. As always, the models hinge on sustained ISP strength and stability in Term Life productivity.

What to watch next

  1. ISP momentum vs. markets. Management called out demand across all product lines and a favorable mix toward U.S. managed accounts and Canadian mutual funds—both supportive of asset‑based fees if markets cooperate. Track flows and equity tape. [15]
  2. Term Life productivity & recruiting. Policies issued and new licenses declined YoY from 2024’s strong base; watch whether productivity stabilizes after the convention‑driven comps normalize. [16]
  3. Capital returns. The $1.04 dividend is set for Dec. 15 (record Nov. 21), and buybacks remain active—$129M repurchased in Q3. [17]
  4. Sell‑side revisions. With Truist’s raised EPS path and maintained $340 target, keep an eye on whether other brokers lift numbers post‑Q3. [18]
  5. Ownership updates. Additional 13F headlines in coming days may confirm whether today’s BNY Mellon and Vestmark moves were isolated or part of a broader re‑positioning. [19]

The takeaway

Primerica enters the new week with fresh analyst support, record ISP activity, and steady capital returns. Shares are trading below several fair‑value gauges, leaving the narrative dependent on continued ISP inflows and stabilization in Term Life productivity. For investors, the next catalysts are further estimate revisions, any incremental color on salesforce trends, and the Dec. 15 dividend. [20]

  • TransUnion (TRU) Valuation: Stock Appears Undervalued vs. $106.70 Fair Value
    November 9, 2025, 5:30 PM EST. TransUnion (TRU) has rallied 3.7% over the last month but remains down about 24% year to date, with a positive three-year return. The stock trades at a hefty multiple (37.2x) vs. the industry average (24.5x) and its own fair value around 31.5x, setting up a debate on growth expectations. Our latest fair value estimate places a target of $106.70, suggesting the shares are undervalued at current levels. Key drivers include AI and ML investments and the rollout of the OneTru cloud-native platform, which support faster product launches, stronger cross-sell and higher operating leverage as costs ease post-2025. Risks to watch include regulatory pressure and rising competition from new entrants. The bullish case hinges on margin expansion and earnings upgrades beyond sector trends.
  • Arcos Dorados Valuation In Focus After Modest Recovery: Is ARCO Undervalued?
    November 9, 2025, 5:28 PM EST. Arcos Dorados Holdings (ARCO) has posted a modest price uptick this month, but the stock remains volatile with a YTD return of -5.9% and a 1-year TSR of -14.4%. The latest narrative argues a valuation gap: a target fair value around $10.40 versus a $7.06 close, implying undervalued potential driven by digital growth, EOTF restaurant modernization, and regional demographics tailwinds. However, a separate DCF-based view suggests fair value well below current levels, highlighting tension between analyst targets and cash-flow projection. Key risks include Brazil's weaker consumer environment and rising input costs, which could pressure margins. Investors should weigh growth catalysts against macroheadwinds before stepping into ARCO.
  • Is Navitas Semiconductor a Buy? Navitas 2.0, GaN/SiC and AI-driven turnaround
    November 9, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. Navitas Semiconductor trades on the Nasdaq as a pure-play power-electronics company using GaN and SiC materials. After a 284% rally over the past year, shares pulled back as Q3 revenue dropped 53% to $10.1 million and net loss widened to $19.2 million. In August, the company named veteran Chris Allexandre as CEO and launched the transformation plan Navitas 2.0, pivoting away from lower-margin consumer/mobile markets (notably in China) toward high-power, high-growth segments such as AI data centers, performance computing, energy, and industrial electrification. If the plan proves durable and demand materializes, a re-rating could follow-yet execution risk, supply chains, and competition remain key headwinds.
  • Ledger mulls New York IPO or private fundraising as demand for crypto hardware wallets climbs
    November 9, 2025, 5:12 PM EST. Ledger is exploring a capital raise next year, with options including a New York listing or a private fundraising round, as demand for crypto security devices drives its strongest year on record. CEO Pascal Gauthier says the company is expanding in New York to capitalize on what he calls money in crypto activity there. Revenue this year has reached triple-digit millions in 2025, ahead of the peak shopping season. Ledger currently secures about $100 billion in bitcoin for customers and was valued around $1.5 billion in 2023. The firm has rolled out an enterprise iOS app and added native TRON support, while its native multisig wallet drew mixed feedback. It competes with Trezor and Tangem as the crypto-storage market grows, even as 2025 sees elevated security breaches and related crime.
