Allstate Q2 Net Income Soars 56% to $3.2B on Strong Underwriting
ALL sits 40% above its 52-week low of $188.08.
Summary
Allstate delivered a blowout Q2, with net income jumping 56% to $3.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $8.99, crushing the prior year's $5.94 and beating estimates. Revenues climbed 12% to $18.6 billion, driven by policy growth and higher homeowners premiums, also surpassing expectations. The Property-Liability combined ratio improved sharply to 86.6 from 91.1, reflecting strong underwriting despite the $1.72 billion in Q2 catastrophe losses flagged in July. The company ramped up buybacks to $1 billion this quarter, part of $3.5 billion returned to shareholders over the past year. This follows the CFO transition and the Oklahoma lawsuit, but the operating momentum is undeniable.
