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]

Stock Market Today

  • Pelosi's $130M Stock Profits: Report Details Huge Market Gains Across Her Congressional Career
    November 9, 2025, 3:22 PM EST. New reporting suggests former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, amassed more than $130 million in stock profits over Nancy Pelosi's four-decade congressional tenure. Citing the New York Post, the couple allegedly achieved a staggering 16,930% return, far outpacing the Dow's growth during the same period. The Pelosis reportedly held securities from before her 1987 entry to Congress, including Citibank, with their portfolio swelling from an estimated $610k-$785k to about $133.7 million. The report comes as Pelosi, 85, announced she will not seek reelection after her term ends in 2027. The figures add fuel to ongoing discussions about stock holdings by lawmakers and financial disclosure transparency.
  • AllianceBernstein Holding (AB) Valuation in Focus After Share Price Momentum
    November 9, 2025, 3:08 PM EST. AllianceBernstein Holding (AB) has edged higher this year, with a 16.5% TSR over the past twelve months and a recent momentum backdrop. The stock trades at a P/E of 11x, well below the industry average 24.4x and a peer average 34.7x, hinting at potential undervaluation of its earnings power. The SWS model's take shows a fair value around $46.51 per share, roughly 15.8% above the current price. If results beat expectations or sector sentiment improves, the valuation gap could narrow. However, concerns on revenue volatility and modest net income growth persist. The key question remains whether the market has already priced in future growth or if further upside awaits.

  • BKV Valuation Review: 1-Month Rally, P/S at 2.8x, DCF Shows Upside
    November 9, 2025, 2:48 PM EST. BKV extended its recent uptrend, rising ~2.5% in the latest session on momentum built over the last month. The stock has delivered a 1-month return of 24% and a total shareholder return of 30% in the past year, reflecting improving sentiment around growth. At $25.39 per share, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 2.8x, below the peer group average of 3.2x but above the broad sector average of 1.5x, suggesting investors expect growth but see execution risks. If the market revisits a fair P/S around 2.0x, upside could temper. A contrasting view comes from a DCF-based fair value of $114.96 per share, implying substantial upside but relying on continued revenue momentum and profitability improvements. Net losses persist, so risk remains if growth slows.
  • Terrestrial Energy (IMSR): Valuation in Focus After Recent Volatility
    November 9, 2025, 2:34 PM EST. Terrestrial Energy (IMSR) has drawn investor interest as clean energy evolves, but recent price swings complicate valuation. A 1-year total shareholder return of 39.1% signals momentum, even as a 7-day -18.2% dip coincides with a 90-day +28.2% rebound. The stock trades at a negative price-to-book of -62.8x, vs. peers at 1.9x (industry) and 1.7x-highlighting balance-sheet pressures that challenge conventional metrics. The last close was $13.91, yet persistent negative net income and limited revenue growth remain risks to long-term momentum. Is the current price a bargain reflecting future growth or has optimism already been priced in? Readers can explore the numbers and warning signs to guide their own view.
