Atlanta, Georgia-based Assurant, Inc. (AIZ) provides protection services to connected devices, homes, and automobiles in North America and internationally. With a market cap of $10.1 billion, the company operates in two segments, Global Lifestyle and Global Housing.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” and AIZ fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the property and casualty insurance industry. AIZ benefits from its commitment to investing in new client programs and capabilities, suggesting a strategic approach to fostering future growth.
Despite its strengths, the stock has plunged 15.6% from its 52-week high of $230.55 touched on Nov. 25, 2024. Over the past three months, AIZ stock has declined 7.7%, underperforming the SPDR S&P Insurance ETF’s (KIE) 3.9% decline during the same time frame.
AIZ stock has declined 8.7% on a YTD basis, underperforming KIE’s 2.9% rise in 2025. However, AIZ has surged 16.8% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming XHE’s 15.9% rise.
To confirm its recent bearish trend, AIZ has been trading below its 200-day moving average since early June and under its 50-day moving average since the last trading session.
On May 6, Assurant announced its Q1 earnings, and its shares surged marginally. The company delivered solid revenue growth of 7% year-over-year to $3.07 billion, mainly driven by strong performance in both its Global Lifestyle and Global Housing segments. Moreover, its adjusted EPS for the quarter came in at $3.39, surpassing the consensus estimates by 19.4%.
Its peer, Cincinnati Financial Corporation (CINF), has grown marginally in 2025 and has surged 24.1% over the past year, outperforming the stock.
Among the seven analysts covering the AIZ stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $233 suggests a 19.7% upside potential from current price levels.
