Assurant Inc. (NYSE: AIZ) has shown a consistent upward trend since November 2008, where it began trading at $12.52. The stock saw an impulse wave complete with wave (I) at $146.21 in February 2020, followed by a pullback to $76.26 by March 2020.
Projections for wave (III) suggest an increase to $287-$417, with recent trends indicating new highs since March 2023. The weekly chart outlines the sub-waves from wave (II), displaying a completed impulse for wave ((1)) of III, and a 7-swing pullback for wave ((2)).
The daily chart indicates the 7-swing pullback reached its basing point in the ‘blue box’. The possibility remains that wave ((2)) might extend into a 15-swing structure if wave ((1)) highs are not crossed. Despite this, the trend remains upward, allowing buying opportunities at lows, with the potential for wave ((3)) to aim at $300-330.

We see Assurant (AIZ) as continuing its powerful long-term bullish trend which originated back in 2008. The current price action is simply a pause, presenting clear buying opportunities on any signs of weakness. For derivative traders, the primary goal should be to position for a significant move higher, with an initial target zone of $300-$330.
This technical view is strengthened by recent fundamental data from the third quarter of 2025, where AIZ surpassed earnings estimates, driven by strong pricing in its Global Housing segment and continued growth in mobile device protection plans. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve’s consistent stance on holding interest rates steady through the end of the year has created a stable environment for the company’s large investment portfolio. This combination of technical strength and fundamental support reinforces the bullish outlook.
A practical strategy for the coming weeks involves selling cash-secured puts on AIZ during any minor dips, with strike prices near recent support levels. This tactic generates income from the premium collected and establishes a long position at a discount if the stock does pull back. Looking back from our current perspective in October 2025, we can see how the pullbacks in 2020 and 2023 were prime entry points for this exact strategy.
For traders who prefer a more direct but risk-defined bullish position, bull call spreads are an attractive option. This allows participation in the upside toward the $300 target while capping potential losses should the current pullback extend deeper before the next leg up begins. Considering that implied volatility has remained moderate, the cost of establishing these spreads is reasonable, offering a favorable risk-reward setup.
