  • Sun Life Financial (TSX:SLF) Valuation Review Amid Recent Share Price Decline
    February 1, 2026, 12:20 AM EST. Sun Life Financial (TSX:SLF) has seen modest share price softness recently, trading around CA$85.8 with a 7.2% undervaluation against a narrative fair value of CA$92.43. The diversified financial services provider, with annual revenue of CA$34.5 billion and net income of CA$2.99 billion, benefits from strong growth in Asian markets, particularly in Individual Protection and wealth products. Despite a higher price-to-earnings ratio of 15.9x compared to North American insurance peers, long-term total returns remain solid at 6.82% over one year and 73.72% over five years. Risks include U.S. Dental sector challenges and asset management outflows at MFS, which could pressure margins and fee income.
