Assurant, Inc. (ISIN US04621V1089) traded at USD 284.33 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 14.02 billion. The quote was 6.5 percent below the 52-week high of USD 303.94 and well above the 52-week low of USD 206.03, keeping the stock close to the upper end of its annual range.

Q2 earnings reset the benchmark

The latest reported operating figures provide the clearest company-specific reference point. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted EBITDA reached USD 479.2 million, up 24 percent from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted earnings per share increased 26 percent to USD 6.41, according to Zacks on September 21, 2026.

The comparison matters because profit growth outpaced the stock's recent price performance. The same report said Assurant raised its 2026 outlook, with annual sales expected to increase 8 percent to USD 13.92 billion and full-year earnings per share projected to rise nearly 13 percent to more than USD 22.

Targets remain above the quote

Analyst expectations also remain materially above the September 21 closing level. Keefe, Bruyette and Woods raised its price target from USD 310 to USD 325, while Truist increased its target from USD 310 to USD 355 on August 6, 2026, as reported by Ad Hoc News.

MarketBeat cited in the same September 21 report an average consensus target of USD 327.14. That level stood USD 42.81 above the quote, an implied difference of 15.1 percent, although the target comparison is an expectation measure rather than a realized return.

Stock stays below its yearly high

The market data show a narrower gap to the annual high than to the annual low, but the September 21 session also included a broad trading range from USD 279.78 to USD 284.76 and volume of 22,320 shares in the cited snapshot. For investors, the key numerical tension is clear: operating profit grew 24 percent year over year in Q2, while the stock remained 6.5 percent below its 52-week peak.

Assurant stock stood at USD 284.33 on the NYSE as of September 21, 2026. The 52-week range was USD 206.03 to USD 303.94, and the reported market capitalization was USD 14.02 billion.
