Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Allstate's Q3 adjusted EPS of $11.17 beat estimates by 36.2%, rising sharply from $3.91 last year.
Higher premiums, strong investment income and lower catastrophe losses boosted quarterly performance.
Total costs dropped 13.5% year over year as claims and policy benefit expenses declined significantly.
The Allstate Corporation (ALL - Free Report) reported a third-quarter 2025 adjusted net income of $11.17 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 36.2%. The bottom line rose significantly from $3.91 a year ago.
Operating revenues advanced 3.8% year over year to $17 billion but missed the consensus mark by 2%.
The better-than-expected third-quarter earnings benefited from growth in premiums, improved investment income and decreased costs and expenses. However, the upside was partly offset by the declining adjusted net income from the protection services unit.
The Allstate Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Property and casualty insurance premiums increased 6.4% year over year to $15.3 billion. Net investment income was $949 million, which rose 21.2% year over year, backed by a growing market-based portfolio and improved performance-based income. The metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $832 million. Market-based investment income increased 10.2% year over year to $780 million in the quarter under review.
Total costs and expenses declined 13.5% year over year to $13.2 billion, lower than our estimate of $15.2 billion. The year-over-year decline was due to decreased property and casualty insurance claims and claims expenses, as well as accident, health and other policy benefits. Catastrophe losses decreased to $558 million from $1.7 billion a year ago.
