Assurant Inc. (NYSE: AIZ) has steadily risen since November 2008, when it traded at $12.52. The stock reached a high of $146.21 in February 2020 but then pulled back to $76.26 by March 2020.
Looking ahead, wave (III) is expected to rise to between $287 and $417, with recent trends showing new highs since March 2023. The weekly chart reveals the sub-waves from wave (II), indicating a completed impulse in wave ((1)) of III and a 7-swing pullback in wave ((2)).
The daily chart shows that the 7-swing pullback hit its low point in the ‘blue box.’ If the highs of wave ((1)) are not surpassed, wave ((2)) could extend to a 15-swing structure. Regardless, the upward trend persists, creating buying opportunities during dips, with wave ((3)) potentially targeting $300-$330.

We see Assurant (AIZ) continuing its strong long-term upward trend from 2008. The current price action is merely a pause, presenting clear buying opportunities during weak moments. For derivative traders, the goal should be to prepare for a big move higher, aiming for an initial target zone of $300-$330.
Recent fundamental data from the third quarter of 2025 supports this optimistic view. AIZ exceeded earnings expectations, thanks to solid performance in its Global Housing segment and ongoing growth in mobile device protection plans. Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates steady throughout the year has created a stable environment for the company’s large investment portfolio. This combination of technical strength and strong fundamentals enhances the bullish outlook.
In the coming weeks, a smart strategy is to sell cash-secured puts on AIZ during any slight dips, targeting strike prices near recent support levels. This approach generates income from the premium collected and allows for a long position at a discount if the stock dips. From our current perspective in October 2025, we can see that the pullbacks in 2020 and 2023 were excellent entry points for this strategy.
For traders looking for a direct yet risk-managed bullish approach, bull call spreads are an appealing choice. This strategy allows participation in potential gains toward the $300 target while limiting losses if the current pullback deepens before the next upward move. Given that implied volatility has remained moderate, the cost of setting up these spreads is reasonable, providing a favorable risk-reward scenario.
