Allstate Is a Solid Business but Growth Prospects Are Limited

We continue to think that Allstate has been operating in something of a sweet spot in terms of the pricing cycle, and that mean reversion in underwriting margins is inevitable. But there was only modest evidence in the company’s fourth-quarter results to suggest this process has started. Performance remains strong in an absolute sense, with the company generating an impressive adjusted ROE of 15% for the year. We will maintain our $84 fair value estimate and no-moat rating.
