Assurant Inc. (US04621X1081) is trading around $285.69 after the latest session opened on August 31, 2026, and the company enters the day with a $14.09 billion market value and a 52-week range of $205.01 to $303.94. The stock's recent setup reflects a quarter that delivered $6.41 in earnings per share and $3.45 billion in revenue.
Quarterly results matter
The most recent earnings report, dated August 4, 2026, showed EPS of $6.41 versus estimates of $5.17, a $1.24 beat, while revenue rose 9.4% year over year from the same quarter last year. That is the clearest quantified comparison in the latest numbers and it gives the stock a fundamental anchor beyond the day-to-day tape.
Return on equity was 20.40% and net margin was 7.90% in that report, while the company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.88 per share. On an annualized basis, that dividend equals $3.52 per share and implies a 1.2% yield.
Analysts stay constructive
Recent coverage points to a consensus Buy rating and an average price target of $327.14, with one research note lifting a target from $274.00 to $331.00 on August 13, 2026. The gap between the open at $285.69 and that consensus target shows why the stock is still being framed through valuation, not just the latest earnings beat.
The stock also traded with a 50-day moving average of $278.92 and a 200-day moving average of $249.38, a technical structure that leaves price above both trend lines. A 13.64 price-to-earnings ratio adds another dated reference point for investors comparing the shares with their recent earnings momentum.
Assurant products
Assurant's housing and lifestyle businesses sit behind the reported numbers, with the latest quarter highlighting the company's mix of risk management services, insurance-related products, and fee-based income. The earnings result and dividend declaration remain the most visible fresh company-specific markers for the stock this week.
