Assurant Inc. (US04621X1081) stock closed at USD 286.11 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 16, 2026, up 0.9 percent from the prior close. MarketBeat said on September 17, 2026 that the company had a market capitalization of USD 14.00 billion and that Piper Sandler raised its price target from USD 290.00 to USD 329.00.

Q2 numbers stay central

On August 4, 2026, Assurant reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of USD 6.41, beating the consensus estimate of USD 5.17 by USD 1.24, according to MarketBeat. The same source said quarterly revenue reached USD 3.45 billion, up 9.4 percent year over year, while net margin was 7.90 percent and return on equity was 20.40 percent.

That mix matters because the latest quarter combined a clear earnings beat with mid-single-digit top-line growth. MarketBeat also showed consensus expectations for full-year 2026 EPS at 22.07, which frames how much execution is already priced into the stock.

Target and valuation

Simply Wall St said on September 16, 2026 that its fair value estimate for Assurant was USD 330, above the latest USD 286.11 close. On the same date, the stock traded at a 0.9 percent daily gain, which leaves the gap to that estimate visible but still unclosed.

For investors, the key point is that Assurant is being judged on both earnings quality and valuation. The combination of USD 6.41 EPS in Q2 2026, USD 3.45 billion revenue, and a USD 329.00 target from Piper Sandler gives the shares a data-rich setup.
