Suneet Kamath has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Equitable Holdings. Despite EQH’s 2025 EPS guidance being slightly below consensus expectations, Kamath views the situation as a “good problem,” largely driven by the positive impact of stock price appreciation, which can enhance shareholder value over time. The company’s guidance reflects strong anticipated cash generation and a solid payout ratio, setting the stage for significant growth in the coming years.
Moreover, Equitable Holdings is well-positioned to benefit from U.S. retirement growth, thanks to its innovative product offerings and a conservative risk management strategy. The firm’s robust performance in segments like Asset Management and Group Retirement further reinforces its growth potential. Kamath’s confidence in EQH’s strategic positioning and operational strength supports his Buy recommendation, projecting a favorable long-term outlook for the company’s stock.
In another report released today, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $58.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 100 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of EQH in relation to earlier this year.
