Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Union Insurance Company P.J.S.C. provides insurance products in the United Arab Emirates, Gulf Cooperation Council, and internationally with a market cap of AED276 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is derived from two main segments: Life Insurance, generating AED19.2 million, and General Insurance, contributing AED214.72 million.

Market Cap: AED276M

Union Insurance Company P.J.S.C. has demonstrated significant earnings growth, with a 173.5% increase over the past year, outpacing the broader insurance industry. Despite a low return on equity at 17.9%, its price-to-earnings ratio of 5.6x suggests it may be undervalued compared to the AE market average of 11.7x. The company is debt-free and maintains strong short-term asset coverage but faces challenges with long-term liabilities exceeding AED1 billion not covered by short-term assets of AED717.5 million. Recent earnings were impacted by a large one-off gain, and management remains relatively inexperienced with an average tenure under two years.
