Assurant Inc. (AIZ) Dividend Safety Gauge & 10-Year DRIP Compounder

Per the Roarable RQD rating, AIZ scores 75 out of 100, graded B and labeled "Roarable Buy — Good Risk/Reward." The five pillars are:

• Fundamental Cash Engine: 14 / 20. Per the RQD rating, this pillar reflects ROIC of 5% and an FCF yield of 11.07%. A high FCF yield alongside modest ROIC suggests cash generation is strong relative to the market value, while the return on invested capital is comparatively thin.
• Whale 13F Flow: 16 / 20. Per the RQD rating, this pillar captures institutional accumulation and options positioning. The source does not itemize the underlying holder data, so the magnitude of accumulation cannot be verified here.
• Insider Conviction: 17 / 20. Per the RQD rating, this is the highest-scoring pillar and reflects SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow. The specific transactions are not itemized in the source data.
• Macro Regime Fit: 13 / 20. Per the RQD rating, this reflects a beta of 0.92 and sector sensitivity. A beta below 1.0 indicates the stock has historically moved less than the broad market in the source's framing, which typically implies lower sensitivity to market-wide swings.
• Forensic Balance Sheet: 15 / 20. Per the RQD rating, this reflects an Altman Z-Score of 2.5, a Piotroski F-Score of 8/9, and a Debt/Equity ratio of 0.5.

For a prospective investor, the upside drivers embedded in this rating are the strong insider and institutional signal scores and the high FCF yield. The valuation tradeoff is that the P/E (TTM) of 16.5 and EV/EBITDA of 20.1 sit alongside a modest 5% ROIC, so the price already reflects meaningful expectations. The low beta suggests a defensive profile, but the sector-sensitivity component limits how much of that defensiveness the rating credits. The 75 score is a composite of these tradeoffs, not a standalone endorsement.

Per the market data, operating margin is 8.3%, net margin is 6.8%, and gross margin is 0%. ROIC is 5%. Per the Roarable RQD rating, the Altman Z-Score is 2.5 and the Piotroski F-Score is 8/9. Per the same rating, Debt/Equity is 0.5; the SEC financials show debt rising from $3125.8M in FY 2023 to $13688.1M in FY 2025, a figure that should be reconciled against the Debt/Equity reading.
