Analysis

United Fire Group (UFCS) currently trades at $54.47, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $59.89, implying the stock looks roughly 10.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, United Fire Group generated revenue of $1.4B at a net margin of 9.2%. Revenue grew 11.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $10.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $44.92 (bear case) to $74.86 (bull case); at $54.47, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 115% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 8% fair-value upside, at 10%, UFCS screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
