Assurant earnings on deck: Can specialty insurer sustain momentum? By Investing.com

Assurant Inc. is set to announce its second-quarter earnings, with analysts expecting a sequential decline in EPS despite year-over-year revenue growth. Investors will be focused on the Global Lifestyle segment's continued performance, potential catastrophe losses in Global Housing, and the company's capital allocation strategy, particularly its share repurchase guidance. The specialty insurer aims to prove its differentiated model can sustain momentum after a strong first quarter and significant stock appreciation.
