Assurant Inc., traded on the NYSE as AIZ, offers risk management and insurance solutions. The company operates in over 20 countries, providing products for housing and lifestyle markets, including mobile device protection and renters insurance. Since March 2020, Assurant’s stock has been on a strong upward trend, breaking past important resistance levels and creating new buying opportunities. The bullish trend started in 2008, when the price was as low as $12.52. By February 2020, the stock had risen to $146.21. After a pullback to $76.26 in March 2020, analysts expect wave (III) to push the price up to between $287 and $417. From March 2020 to April 2022, an upward trend completed as wave I of (III), followed by a pullback that ended in March 2023. Now, a new bullish cycle is forming, driving the price to new highs. The stock corrected its first wave in the second wave, with a pullback that attracted buyers in the blue box zone between $221.7 and $216.26. Looking ahead, traders should stay alert for the next price movements. The stock might enter a wave 3 advance or undergo another deeper pullback in wave 2. The overall bullish trend remains strong, consistently drawing in buyers from key areas. Assurant’s bullish trend, which started in March 2020, is still robust. After a breakout in November 2025, the stock is now set for a potential move toward the $250 target. The market pattern shows a series of nested advances, making it a good time to buy during any pullbacks. Recent market activities support this positive outlook. Since the stock dipped into the $216-$222 “blue box” range in late November, it has remained stable, staying above the important low from October 29. In the options market for January 2026, there has been a significant increase in call buying, indicating that traders expect further growth in the first quarter. Assurant’s fundamentals are also improving. Its Q3 2025 earnings report highlighted strong performance in mobile device protection and renters insurance, surpassing analyst expectations and leading to raised price targets. Historically, AIZ tends to do well after earnings beats, often averaging a 6% gain in the following quarter over the last three years. For those trading derivatives, any dip in price should be seen as a chance to buy. Selling cash-secured puts near recent support levels, such as $220, might be a smart strategy to earn premiums while ensuring a solid entry point. Alternatively, buying call debit spreads could provide a defined risk approach to profit from a predicted rise toward $250. As the stock climbs higher, it’s important to manage positions actively. The recent bounce from the blue box zone to above $225 offered an opportunity to take partial profits and adjust stop-loss orders to break even. As we near the $250 target, gradually selling long call positions or rolling put spreads upward will be a wise move to secure profits.
