Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Shares Of Assurant Inc.
Aug 7, 2025 10:36 AM

01:05 PM EDT, 08/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target price by $11 to $236, valuing AIZ shares at 12x our 2026 operating EPS estimate of $19.70 (raised by $0.30), versus the one-year average forward multiple of 12x and a peer average of 13x. We also raise our 2025 EPS estimate by $1.04 to $17.80 after AIZ posted Q2 operating EPS of $5.10 versus $4.08, topping our $4.60 EPS estimate and the $4.45 consensus view, on decent premium growth trends in Global Lifestyle (up 8%) and Global Housing (up 10%). These rates of growth are above many peers and, coupled with management's upwardly revised guidance that EPS growth will approach 10%, we believe the shares remain undervalued despite their recent strength on this news. At current levels, the shares (which yield 1.7%) trade at 10.7x our 2026 EPS estimate, a discount to peer and historical averages.
