Assurant Posts Record Q1 2026 as Connected Living Earnings Jump 18%, Guidance Raised
Assurant reported its strongest quarter ever in Q1 2026, with adjusted EPS of $5.95 beating consensus by 12.5% and revenue of $3.42B exceeding estimates by 3.9%. Double-digit earnings growth in Connected Living (18%) and Global Automotive (23%) drove the beat, supported by expanding carrier partnerships reaching ~69 million devices and a $20M reduction in catastrophe reinsurance costs. Management raised full-year guidance, citing Lifestyle growth of ~10% and high-single-digit underlying EBITDA/EPS growth. Despite the strong print, the stock initially underperformed the market by 1.6%, though it subsequently drifted 6.4% higher. The analyst consensus target of $288 implies modest upside from the current $282.

What changed
Q1 2026 was Assurant's strongest quarter on record. Adjusted EPS of $5.95 topped the $5.29 consensus by 12.5%, and revenue of $3.42B beat the $3.29B estimate by 3.9%. Connected Living earnings grew 18% and Global Automotive by 23%. Catastrophe reinsurance program costs fell to $180M from $200M, with more favorable terms and reduced Florida exposure. Device protection reached approximately 69 million devices through expanded partnerships with T-Mobile, Verizon, Xfinity Mobile, and Best Buy. A real estate joint-venture gain of $13M also contributed to EBITDA.
Guidance delta
Management raised full-year guidance. Lifestyle growth is now expected at approximately 10%, up from the prior outlook. Full-year EBITDA and EPS growth is guided to low-single-digits on a reported basis, or high-single-digits on an underlying basis. The company plans $300-$350 million in share repurchases and continues to evaluate M&A opportunities. Balance sheet liquidity stood at $836 million.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
