What to Expect From Assurant (AIZ) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Assurant, Inc. (AIZ - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 3, after the closing bell. The company’s earnings beat estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 21.71%.
Factors to Note
The company’s second-quarter revenues are likely to reflect the impact of lower fees and other income coupled with reduced net investment income. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues stands at $2.4 billion, which indicates decline of 2.7% from the prior-year quarter.
While the consensus mark for fees and other income suggests fall of 21% from the year-ago reported figure, the same for net investment income indicates a decline of 44.5% year over year. A continued lower interest rate environment is likely to have weighed on the company’s net investment income in the second quarter.
The company’s Global Lifestyle segment might have benefited from well-performing Global Automotive and Connected Living in the to-be-reported quarter. Global Automotive is expected to gain on the back of substantial rise in auto production. Continued mobile subscriber growth across Asia Pacific and North America coupled with higher volumes and contributions stemming from the HYLA acquisition are likely to have provided a boost to Connected Living’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Global Lifestyle revenues is pegged at $1.8 billion, which suggests growth of 2.7% from the prior-year reported number.
The Global Housing segment is likely to have benefited on the back of increased premium rates, improved underwriting results, persistent growth in multifamily housing, well-performing lender-placed business and favorable non-cat losses across the company’s specialty products.
The consensus mark for revenues from Global Housing segment stands at $512 million, indicating an improvement of 4.7% from the prior-year quarter.
In the to-be-reported quarter, the company’s bottom line is likely to reflect the impact of increased interest expense coupled with rise in depreciation expense stemming from constant investments to boost information technology capabilities.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.49 per share, which suggests a slump of 9.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
