UBS analyst Michael Ward CFA has reiterated a Buy rating on Voya Financial (VOYA) with a price target of $87.00, according to a recent research report [1]. Ward CFA, who holds a 4-star rating with a 12.0% average return and a 67.29% success rate, has maintained his optimistic stance on the asset manager's stock.
Voya Financial, with a market capitalization of $6.97 billion and a P/E ratio of 13.65, has been the subject of various analyst opinions in recent months. While Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase have raised their price targets, other analysts have been more cautious. Bank of America, for instance, has set a lower price target of $71.00 and an "underperform" rating [1].
Corporate insider sentiment has been negative, with 34 insiders selling their shares over the past quarter. This selling activity, valued at $23.2 million, represents a 82.73% decrease in insider ownership [1].
Voya Financial's quarterly earnings results for the period ending May 6, 2025, showed earnings per share of $2.15, beating the consensus estimate by $0.56. The company's revenue for the quarter was $1.97 billion, a 4.0% decrease from the previous year. Analysts predict earnings per share of $8.39 for the current year [1].
Several institutional investors have recently increased their stakes in Voya Financial. Jones Financial Companies LLC, for example, increased its stake by 81.0% in the 4th quarter, while Versant Capital Management Inc. increased its position by 666.4% during the 1st quarter [1].
Despite the mixed analyst sentiment, Voya Financial's strong earnings and increasing institutional ownership may support the stock's potential for growth. However, investors should consider the company's negative insider sentiment and the varying analyst opinions before making investment decisions.
