With a market capitalization of $ 52.7 billion, Allstate Corporation (ALS) is one of the largest insurers of personal lines in the United States. Operating by five business segments, the company offers a wide range of property, victims, life, health and protection products to individuals, households and employers in the United States and Canada.
Companies evaluated at $ 10 billion or more are generally classified as “large capitalization” actions, and Allstate perfectly matches this criterion. Allstate provides its services via exclusive and independent agents, contact centers and digital platforms, while providing innovative protection plans and data -based solutions.
Despite this, the shares of the company of Northbrook, in Illinois, decreased by 6.8% compared to its highest by 52 weeks of $ 214.76. All shares have increased by 1.6% in the last three months, underperforming the 11.7% increase in the Nasdaq Composite ($ NASX) on the same period of time.
In the longer term, all shares are up 3.6% on the ytd basis, lagging around 13.3% NASX. In addition, the insurer’s shares have won almost 8% in the last 52 weeks, compared to the yield of 29.6% of the NASX on the same period of time.
Despite some fluctuations, the action has been negotiated mainly above its 200-day mobile average since last year.
Allstate shares increased by 5.7% after its results in T2 2025 on July 30, as the insurer posted an adjusted BPA of $ 5.94, far exceeding analysts’ expectations. The high performance was motivated by a net reversal in its property responsibility segment, where subscription income reached $ 1.28 billion compared to a loss a year earlier, and the underlying combined ratio has improved considerably at 79.5%. In addition, an increase in net investment income of $ 754 million has strengthened investor confidence.
However, his rival The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (HIG) has exceeded all actions. Hartford Insurance Group’s shares returned 19.6% on a ytd basis and 11.9% in the last 52 weeks.
Despite the underperformance of the action compared to the NASDAQ, analysts remain moderately optimistic on Allstate. All shares have a consensual note of “moderate purchase” from 23 analysts on the cover, and the average price target of $ 231.79 is a premium of 15.8% at the current levels.
