Management quote: “The Transformative Growth technology platform also supports accelerated deployment of generative and agentic artificial intelligence to lower costs and reimagine customer value.” — Tom Wilson .

What Went Wrong

  • Protection Services earnings mixed: revenues +9.7% y/y to $902M, but adjusted net income fell $12M (to $46M) due to higher Arity expenses and increased Protection Plans claims .
  • Arity results softened: revenue $68M (−$6M y/y); adjusted net loss −$8M vs +$1M y/y on increased operating expenses .
  • Retention headwinds: overall auto retention pressured by growth in non-standard cohorts (shop more, shorter life), and transitions from inactive brands; management is working SAVE program and product migrations (ASC) to improve retention .

Management Commentary

  • “Revenues increased to $17.3 billion… Net income was $3.7 billion… Adjusted net income* was $3.0 billion, or $11.17 per diluted share.” — Tom Wilson .
  • “Transformative Growth… supports accelerated deployment of generative and agentic artificial intelligence… Allstate will continue to create shareholder value by innovating.” — Tom Wilson .
  • “Adjusted net income return on equity* was 34.7%… statutory surplus increased to $22.5B… returned $624M to common shareholders (repurchases $360M; dividends $264M).” — John Dugenske .

Q&A Highlights

  • Capital deployment: Ample Holdco liquidity; priority to invest in core growth, optimize investments, pursue M&A opportunistically, and maintain buybacks/dividends .
  • Pricing outlook: Book broadly rate adequate; minimal rate need ex-NY/NJ; 2026 response will be data-driven based on loss trends (frequency the wild card) .
  • AI strategy: ALLI in design/build; generative AI already deployed in billing, claims communications, actuarial/finance; goal to reduce costs and personalize offerings at scale .
  • Competition: Highly competitive landscape (Progressive, State Farm, GEICO); Allstate gaining new business above industry shopping growth, with strong economics in non-standard .
  • Retention: SAVE program and migration to ASC products to enhance retention; agents leveraging AI/data to deepen relationships .
  • Regulatory: Florida tort reform commended; NY/NJ ASC approvals sought; profitable and writing some new business with existing product; expanding as approvals come .

Estimates Context

  • Q3 2025: EPS consensus $7.54* vs actual adjusted EPS $11.17 — Beat; Revenue consensus $16.94B* vs actual $17.26B — Beat .
  • Limited estimate depth on revenue (# of estimates = 1–2), but magnitude of beat implies upward estimate revisions for FY run-rate. Target price consensus mean $236.1* (20 estimates).

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Strong beat and inflection in underwriting profitability, with homeowners catastrophe normalization and auto underlying margins improving; supports sustained ROE >30% near term .
  • Growth engine intact: PIFs expanding across active brands; non-standard gains via National General/Direct Auto; homeowners new business and bundling robust .
  • AI/ALLI is a multi-year cost and CX lever; early generative AI deployments are tangible, with agentic AI potentially expanding margin and retention — a medium-term multiple catalyst .
  • Pricing stance pragmatic: limited rate need as book broadly adequate; management poised to flex if frequency/severity trends change — reduces downside estimate risk .
  • Capital strength and deployment optionality (repurchases, dividends, selective growth exposure in portfolio) likely to underpin total shareholder return while enabling growth .
  • Watchlist: NY/NJ product approvals (ASC) to unlock additional PIF growth; Arity profitability path; Protection Plans claims normalization .
  • Near-term trading: positive setup on beat/raise dynamic and narrative of cost leverage + homeowners normalization; monitor macro (rates/inflation) and catastrophe seasonality .
