Is Assurant stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Assurant stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Assurant's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Assurant's P/E ratio

Assurant's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Assurant shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

Assurant's PEG ratio

Assurant's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.46. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Assurant's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Assurant's EBITDA

Assurant's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.2 billion.

Assurant stock dividends

Recently Assurant has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Assurant shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Assurant's case, that would currently equate to about $2.88 per share.

While Assurant's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Assurant is investing more in its future growth.

Assurant's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 8 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
