The insurer's shares have seen a decrease of 2.42% over the last month, not keeping up with the Finance sector's gain of 1.91% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.92%.
Market participants will be closely following the financial results of Allstate in its upcoming release. The company is forecasted to report an EPS of $3.2, showcasing a 98.76% upward movement from the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $17.29 billion, indicating a 9.29% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $18.2 per share and a revenue of $69.19 billion, representing changes of -0.66% and +7.55%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Allstate. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, running from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), holds an admirable track record of superior performance, independently audited, with #1 stocks contributing an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
