The insurance services company's non-GAAP profit of $6.41 per share beat analysts' consensus estimates by 23.7%. Net premiums earned reached $2.77 billion, in line with analyst estimates of $2.76 billion, representing 6.9% year-on-year growth. Pre-tax profit stood at $376.9 million, equating to a 10.9% margin. Assurant's revenue has grown at a 6.6% compounded annual growth rate over the past five years. The company, which provides specialised insurance products protecting consumer purchases like mobile devices, vehicles, and homes, has a market capitalisation of $13.99 billion.
Assurant has partnered with Cogeco Communications to launch a digital-first mobile device solution for Canadian customers. The collaboration gives Cogeco mobile users access to network-compatible devices through Assurant's ecosystem, including new, refurbished, and certified Open Box models from Best Buy Canada. Customers can browse and purchase devices on BestBuy.ca with flexible financing options. Assurant handles device lifecycle management, enabling customers to buy, protect, and trade in devices, whilst Cogeco provides connectivity and customer experience. The solution addresses growing Canadian demand for affordability, simplicity, and sustainability in mobile device management. Paul Cosgrove, President of Assurant Canada, said the partnership delivers "a simpler and more connected mobile experience" by integrating device access, protection, and upgrade solutions into a single journey.
Owen, an insurtech specialising in embedded insurance, has partnered with Assurant to provide insurance capacity for Swan, Europe's leading embedded banking platform. The collaboration enables Swan to integrate travel insurance and fraud protection directly into its card products across France and Europe. Under the arrangement, Assurant serves as the risk carrier, Owen acts as broker and third-party administrator, and Allianz provides assistance services. The programme launched in April 2026 with Swan, which processes approximately €2 billion in monthly transactions across 30 European countries and serves over 150 companies including Pennylane, Indy and Agicap. The partnership allows Swan's partners to offer embedded insurance natively within their card products, eliminating months of integration work and complex regulatory requirements.

Total revenues increased 11.4% to $3.4 billion, surpassing estimates by 4.4%.
