Assurant Inc. operates globally, providing risk management and insurance solutions in the housing and lifestyle markets. The company is known for products like mobile device protection and vehicle service contracts and operates in over 20 countries. Its long-term bullish cycle began at $12.52 in 2008, with key price peaks and corrections occurring since then.<\/p>\n
The current Elliott Wave analysis suggests wave (III) is underway, with a potential target between $287 and $417. Recently, price actions showed a 7-swing pullback completing wave ((2)), leading to a new rally. This extended wave ((3)) can potentially target the $330\u2013$380 range.<\/p>\n
In December 2025, a recommendation was made to go long from the blue box, anticipating a target of $262 for wave 3. A subsequent rally from this point displayed strong momentum with a possible extension beyond $260. As the bullish sequence continues, traders lookout for potential pullbacks for buying opportunities, leveraging detailed trend analysis across multiple instruments.<\/p>\n
Based on the strong rally from early December, we believe the immediate chase for upside is over. The initial trade from the blue box has already yielded a 10% gain, and a prudent move was to secure partial profits. Chasing the current extension of this move introduces unnecessary risk.<\/p>\n
The stock\u2019s momentum is fundamentally supported, as we saw strength in Assurant\u2019s recent fourth-quarter 2025 earnings report, which showed particular resilience in its Global Housing segment. U.S. housing starts for November 2025 posted a 1.9% increase, reinforcing confidence in this core market. This underlying economic health validates the ongoing bullish price action.<\/p>\n
The next opportunity will come from a place of patience rather than aggression. We are now watching for this current upward wave to complete, which could happen after one more leg higher. Following that peak, a corrective pullback should offer a more favorable entry point for new long positions.<\/p>\n
For derivative traders, this anticipated dip presents an ideal setup to buy call options or establish bullish call spreads for the first or second quarter of 2026. With the VIX having settled around 13 during this holiday week, option premiums are reasonable for positioning ahead of the next expected wave up. The price targets of $330 to $380 can be used as a guide for selecting strike prices.<\/p>\n
This short-term strategy fits within a much larger bullish structure that has been building for years. We see the current action as part of a major wave that began after the March 2020 lows. The foundation for this entire cycle was established from the great financial crisis bottom back in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
