Top Growth Stocks To Watch Right Now


It has been a little while since I covered Assurant (NYSE:AIZ), but I still remain comfortable on the long side. In fact, I took the opportunity to double down in the November 2016 sell off, and since then, the stock price has improved measurably, flirting with all-time highs. If Seeking Alpha makes for a good benchmark on sentiment (recent research by Aaron Zimmerman here and Greg Wajda here), the overall market remains intrigued – but cautious – on the transformation underway at this insurer. I’ve been a fan of recent events, particularly Q1 2017 results, but before we get into that, it is worth a reminder on why exactly I, and many other shareholders, got involved with Assurant in the first place:

Small relative size makes Assurant prime for growth or for a potential acquisition. Shift into niche fee-based, capital light businesses provide a chance for return expansion. Growing service contract business, mobile device businesses generate predictable cash flows Massive capital return program remains in place, substantial buybacks already through Q1 2017.
