Jeff Schmitt has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Assurant’s strong financial performance and promising outlook. The company’s recent earnings exceeded expectations, with a notable contribution from the Global Housing segment. This segment is benefiting from favorable market conditions and is expected to continue its strong performance throughout the year.
Additionally, the Global Lifestyle segment is experiencing a resurgence in earnings growth, driven by the expansion of mobile offerings and improvements in the Global Auto sector. Assurant’s overall positive momentum is further supported by an increased earnings guidance, projecting significant growth in adjusted non-CAT EPS. Despite these positive developments, the stock is currently trading below its historical average, presenting a potential opportunity for investors.
In another report released yesterday, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $225.00 price target.
