Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Phoenix Group Holdings stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Phoenix is in advanced talks to secure over £1 billion in private capital from firms including Blackstone, Sixth Street, and KKR to grow its pension-risk transfer business, boosting its ability to take on larger pension liabilities and drive long-term growth (Financial Times).
Citi upgraded Phoenix to “buy” and raised its price target by 36% to 730 pence on May 21, 2025, citing greater balance sheet flexibility, cost efficiencies, a strategic pivot to workplace pensions and bulk annuities, and support from a 9% covered dividend yield (Proactive Investors).
In the first half of 2025, Phoenix increased IFRS adjusted operating profit by 25% to £451 million, grew operating cash generation by 9% to £705 million, boosted its Solvency II surplus to £3.6 billion, and raised its shareholder capital coverage ratio to 175%, keeping it on track for 2026 targets (LifeInsuranceInternational).
BofA Securities downgraded Phoenix to “neutral” on May 29, 2025, citing that a 32% rally this year leaves only 13% total return potential, and warning that declining shareholders’ equity through at least 2027 could undermine investor confidence (Investing.com).
Phoenix missed out on winning a £4.6 billion Ford pension buyout, which went to Legal & General, highlighting the risk of losing major pension de-risking deals to bigger players in bulk annuities (Financial Times).
Phoenix’s pursuit of over £1 billion from private capital firms for pension-risk transfer deals shows its dependence on external funding, potentially diluting returns for current shareholders and creating execution and partnership risks (Financial Times).
