At least 28 people are reportedly dead in three states after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41028566/tropical-storm-helene-set-to-become-hurricane-generac-duke-energy-stocks-react-as-florida-braces">Hurricane Helene made landfall</a>.
What Happened: Hurricane Helene was classified as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane">a Category 4 storm</a> when it made landfall Thursday night in Florida. It brought heavy rain and winds of over 100 miles per hour.
By Friday, the storm was downgraded to a tropical storm. It continued to make its path north to Georgia and South Carolina, as <a href="https://apnews.com/live/hurricane-helene-tracker-maps-updates">reported </a>by the Associated Press.
At last check, the casualties from Hurricane Helene, according to the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/hurricane-helene-landfall-florida-tracker-death-toll-b2619842.html">Independent</a>, total 28. 
Among the hardest hit areas of Hurricane Helene was the Big Bend region of Florida. This is the third hurricane in more than a year to hit the area. 
Hurricane Helene is also expected to cause more damage than the combined damage from Hurricane Idalia (August 2023) and Hurricane Debby (August 2024).
"To have something that was even bigger than those two storms causing a lot of damage, I think it's a sense of trauma for the community," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Friday.
Storm cleanup and recovery efforts Friday included trying to open airports in Florida that were previously closed to prepare for the storm and to get bridges and roads back open that had been shut down ahead of the storm.
Here's an update on the storm's impact on the power outages, the insurance market, and the stocks investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/09/41053573/hurricane-helene-disrupts-flights-sports-events-disney-operations-affected-regions-stocks-to-watch">are likely watching.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Power Outages</h2>
Over four million homes remain without power as of Friday across the areas hit the hardest like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Florida had lost power in the hours before the hurricane made landfall.
Investors will closely be monitoring Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) — one of the largest power companies in Florida.
With the anticipated power outages and storm damages from the storm, investors will be closely watching generator company Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) to see if the company gets a boost in its financials in the current quarter from the storm's impact.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Storm Damage, Insurance Impact</h2>
A <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article293117729.html">report </a>from the Miami Herald said the losses from the storm could be modest for Florida's insurance market and smaller than Hurricane Ian (2022) and Hurricane Michael (2018).
"This looks like it will not be a large loss event for Florida insurers," Insurance Information Institute spokesperson Mark Friedlander said.
Friedlander said it could be "a manageable event," which could be due to the hurricane hitting an area of Florida that is not as populated as other parts of the state.
A report from reinsurance company Gallagher Re, which is a unit of Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), said Wednesday that private insurers' losses could come in a range of $3 billion to $6 billion across the multiple states impacted.
For comparison, Hurricane Michael, which was a Category 5 storm that hit Florida, caused $9 billion in losses. Hurricane Irma represented around one million claims and $20 billion in losses.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are among the publicly traded companies that could be impacted by the insurance claims from the hurricane.
The Aftermath: The death toll from Hurricane Helene is likely to rise as search and rescue missions are underway across several states. Power outages could persist for days and the damage done from the storm will take months to years to recover from for businesses and residents.
Home improvement retailers Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) are other stocks often linked to hurricanes due to the damage done to homes and repair efforts that are needed.
With hurricane season still active until late November, the areas impacted by Hurricane Helene will be hoping that more large storms don't make landfall in the coming months.

Hurricane Helene Update: 28 Dead, Power Outages, Insurance Damages And More

Hurricane Helene is on track to hit Florida and the Gulf Coast region Thursday night in what could be one of the most powerful storms to strike the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane">regions in decades.</a>
Here's a look at the regions most affected, and how the hurricane is impacting travel, sports, and key stocks to watch.
Hurricane Path: Hurricane Helene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41028566/tropical-storm-helene-set-to-become-hurricane-generac-duke-energy-stocks-react-as-florida-braces">could hit and impact</a> several major cities in Florida and the nearby states, including Tampa, Tallahassee and Atlanta.
Currently a Category 2 hurricane, the storm could be elevated to a Category 3 or Category 4 storm in the coming hours and days. The hurricane is expected to be one of the largest storms in the region over the last century, as <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-09-26-24/index.html">reported </a>by CNN.
Over three million people in Florida and Georgia are currently under a Tornado Watch until 10 p.m. ET Thursday night.
A CNN meteorologist predicts that peak wind could reach over 100 mph in some regions Thursday and Friday, with rainfall of up to 12 inches in certain areas.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned of the potential that Hurricane Helene could shift its path and could hit Tallahassee, the state's capital. Tallahassee has never been directly hit by a Category 3 hurricane.
"This area has not had a major hurricane hit in quite some time, and certainly nobody in recent memory has seen a storm of this magnitude that has hit," DeSantis said, as reported by CNN.
While the worst of the storm will likely be felt in Florida and Georgia, the storm's path, which could increase in size, is expected to travel through portions of Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois, with the non-Florida states getting hit on Friday and Saturday.

Stocks to Watch: Among the sectors that could be hit by the hurricane is the airline industry, with over 1,000 flights canceled Thursday at several Florida airports.
Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) was listed as the airline with the most impact on the region by CNN, with the potential for its flights to resume Friday morning. The company has waived change fees for flights to other regions and airports to help travelers.
Florida is a key region for many theme parks, including Disney World, the popular theme park from The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>). Disney World has announced some park experiences have been closed due to the hurricane, but the theme park remains open. Disney World has closed for several hurricanes over the years, as <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2024/09/26/hurricane-helene-florida-theme-parks-closed-open-disney-universal-orlando/75389447007/">reported </a>by Tallahassee Democrat. Hurricane Ian in September 2022 was the last time Disney World fully closed.
United Parks &amp; Resorts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRKS#NYSE">PRKS</a>) closed Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and several water parks it owns in the region, while SeaWorld Orlando remains open Thursday.
Insurance stocks will likely be on watch, with the damage from the storm causing potential billions of dollars in damage. Stocks like Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) could see heavy claims from customers after the storm.
Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) is a larger operator in Florida and could see interest from investors as the storm damage and power outages are assessed.
While the stocks above could be negatively affected by the hurricane, several stocks could be viewed as winners from storm damage and prolonged power outages.
Generac Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is often viewed as a hurricane stock thanks to its sale of generators and power equipment. Generac shares are up 7% in the last five days, in possible anticipation of the impact of Hurricane Helene.
Home improvement retailers Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe's Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) could see a positive impact from repairs needed to homes in the region and see their quarterly results reflect the increased sales, depending on the storm&#8217;s size.
Sports Impact: The early impact of the storm was witnessed in the sports world Wednesday, with Major League Baseball cancelling the Atlanta Braves (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATRA#NASDAQ">BATRA</a>) and New York Mets contests set for Wednesday and Thursday. The games will now be played in a doubleheader Monday, <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41442218/mets-braves-games-wednesday-thursday-postponed-monday-doubleheader">extending </a>the MLB regular season.
The games are pivotal in the current fight for the National League Wild Card race to secure a postseason berth. The Mets (87-70) currently lead the Braves (86-71) in the Wild Card race. It's possible that Monday's games could decide which team makes it into the MLB Playoffs. For the Mets, the team could see a tough travel schedule if they do make the playoffs, flying into Atlanta on Monday and then flying to Milwaukee or the West Coast for a first-round matchup that would start on Tuesday.
Several NCAA Football games could be <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/09/24/hurricane-helene-college-football-schedule-impact/75369720007/">impacted </a>by the hurricane over the weekend. The Miami Hurricanes&#8217; home game on Friday could be postponed. UCF&#8217;s home game on Saturday will also be monitored. The highly anticipated Alabama and Georgia game set to play in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday could also be impacted by heavy rain and winds.
The National Football League is also monitoring the storm and its impact on games scheduled for Sunday and Monday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers are currently set to host home games at 1 p.m. ET Sunday. The Miami Dolphins host a Monday Night Football game that is also being monitored.

<a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/allstate-home-insurance-rate-hike-19728352.php">https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/allstate-home-insurance-rate-hike-19728352.php</a>
Allstate has been approved for the largest rate increase in California of any <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/home-insurance/">major insurer</a> in the past three years.
This month, the Department of Insurance approved <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/allstate-home-insurance-rate-19482339.php">Allstate's request to hike its home insurance rates</a> by an average of 34.1% for its roughly 350,000 California customers. Within that average, some homeowners could see their rates decrease as much as 57%, while at least one will see rates increase by nearly 650%. Allstate customers will see the increase appear on their bill at their first renewal date following November 7, according to the company's filings with the state.

</ul>
It's the largest increase of a top insurer since 2021, when Homesite Insurance Company&nbsp;— a subsidiary of American Family Insurance, the 12th largest insurer in California&nbsp;— was approved to raise homeowner rates by 38.2%. Allstate's increase only applies to homeowners insurance, but the company also has an open request to raise rates for condominium owners by an average of 30%.
In its filing, Allstate said the increase was motivated by an increased number of claims for water and fire damage.
"Our payments to help California residents recover from accidents and disasters have increased significantly in recent years due to higher repair costs, more frequent and severe weather and legal system abuse," an Allstate spokesperson previously told the Chronicle.
Data included in the company's filings show that the greatest increases will happen in Fresno, Madera and Mariposa counties. A lone homeowner in the 95325 ZIP code in Mariposa County will see their rates increase by 385%, while the 95369 ZIP code in Merced County will see rates go up an average of 214%.&nbsp;Homeowners in Sonoma and&nbsp;Napa counties will also see particularly&nbsp;large increases, with rates in&nbsp;the 95442 ZIP code in Sonoma rising an average of&nbsp;164%.
Such rate hikes are a harbinger of what could come in the future, experts say. Over the past few years, California insurers have asserted that the state's Proposition 103 — which requires companies to get prior approval before raising rates and, uniquely among the 50 states, bans the use of forward-looking risk models when pricing wildfire risk — has kept them from accurately pricing the risk they're taking on. In response, many have severely limited the new policies they write. <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/insurance-allstate-fires-18130622.php">Allstate</a> and <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california-wildfires/article/insurance-state-farm-18125433.php">State Farm</a> have even stopped writing new policies altogether.
In April, an Allstate representative promised regulators at a public workshop that it would <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/allstate-home-insurance-19419045.php">start writing homeowners policies for new customers again</a> soon. But first, it would need to be able to "fully reflect the cost of providing protection to customers"&nbsp;— meaning prices would need to go up. Allstate ceased writing new homeowners policies in November 2022.
The company did not immediately clarify whether the new rate increase would cause it to resume writing new policies in California.
Allstate's rate hike is hardly the only major rate hike to be approved in recent years. In March, the Liberty Mutual subsidiary Safeco was <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/safeco-insurance-rates-19457338.php">approved to increase rates an average of 10.5%</a>. That month, State Farm, the state's largest home insurer by far, also <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/state-farm-california-rate-increases-map/">increased its average rates by 20%</a>. Since then, State Farm has also <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/state-farm-insurance-rates-19544180.php">requested another 30% rate increase</a> in a <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/insurance-state-farm-finances-19545699.php">sign of financial distress</a>. That request is pending.
Even the FAIR Plan&nbsp;— California's state-created but privately-run "<a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/home-insurance-policy-19429777.php">insurer of last resort</a>"&nbsp;— has said <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/home-insurance-fair-plan-rates-19422597.php">it will need a "substantial increase" in prices</a> in the near future.

The Property and Casualty (P&amp;C) insurance space is set to benefit from better pricing, prudent underwriting, increased exposure, an improving rate environment and a solid capital position. With the ongoing economic expansion, insurers remain well-poised for growth.&nbsp;
The Zacks-defined Property &amp; Casualty Insurance Industry is currently in the top 24% of the Zacks Industry Rank. In the past year, the industry has provided 19.7% returns, while its year-to-date return is 19.5%. Since it is ranked in the top half of the Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect it to outperform the market over the next three to six months.
<h2>Future Catalysts</h2>
Price hikes, operational strength, higher retention, strong renewal and the appointment of retail agents should help write higher premiums. The P&amp;C insurance industry is witnessing increased use of technology like blockchain, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, telematics, cloud computing and robotic process automation that expedite business operations and save costs. Insurers continue to invest heavily in technology to improve basis points, scale and efficiencies.
Meanwhile, consolidation in the property and casualty industry is likely to continue as players look to diversify their operations into new business lines and geographies. Deloitte estimates more mergers and acquisitions in the reinsurance space in 2024.
Finally, a massive rise in the market interest rate will raise the cost of funds, enabling financial companies to widen the spread between longer-term assets, such as loans, with shorter-term liabilities, thus boosting the financial sector&#39;s profit margin.
<h2>Our Top Picks</h2>
We have narrowed our search to five P&amp;C insurers with strong potential for the rest of 2024. These stocks have seen positive earnings estimates in the last 30 days. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past three months.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acgl#NASDAQ">ACGL</a>) boasts a strong product portfolio and has a solid track record of premium growth. Premiums should benefit from new business opportunities, rate increases, growth in existing accounts and growth in Australian single-premium mortgage insurance.&nbsp;
ACGL has also been diversifying its Mortgage Insurance business via strategic acquisitions that also complement the strength in the specialty insurance and reinsurance businesses. A solid capital position shields ACGL from market volatility. ACGL&#39;s growing Investment portfolio provides meaningful tailwinds to its bottom line. Strategic buyouts strengthen ACGL&#39;s portfolio and offer geographic diversification.&nbsp;
Arch Capital Group has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 15.1% and 5.7%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.4% over the last seven days.
The Allstate Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/all#NYSE">ALL</a>) is witnessing consistent growth in premiums, thanks to strategic acquisitions and expanding ventures. Rate hikes to counter inflationary pressures on loss costs are expected to continue in ALL&#39;s auto insurance business for 2024.&nbsp;
ALL&#39;s focus on optimizing core operations has allowed it to redirect resources toward high-growth areas. The sale of ALL&#39;s Health &amp; Benefits division is expected to free up capital. Cost-saving initiatives are projected to boost profits. ALL&#39;s cash-generating abilities are crucial for returning capital to its shareholders.
The Allstate has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 9.6% and more than 100%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.5% in the last seven days.
The Progressive Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pgr#NYSE">PGR</a>) continues to gain on higher premiums, given its compelling product portfolio, leadership position and strength in both Vehicle and Property businesses. Focus on becoming a one-stop insurance destination, catering to customers opting for a combination of home and auto insurance, augurs well for PGR&#39;s growth.&nbsp;
Policies in force and retention ratio should remain healthy. Competitive pricing to retain current customers and address their needs with new offerings should continue to drive policy life expectancy.
The Progressive has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 19.5% and 96.7%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 8.1% in the last 30 days.
RLI Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rli#NYSE">RLI</a>) is one of the industry&#39;s most profitable property and casualty writers with an impressive track record of underwriting profits. A strong local branch office network, a broad range of product offerings, and a focus on specialty insurance lines contribute to RLI&#39;s profits.&nbsp;
RLI&#39;s ability to maintain the combined ratio at favorable levels even in the toughest operating environment reflects superior underwriting discipline. RLI&#39;s decision to drop underperforming products from its property business also bodes well. A strong capital position provides financial flexibility to operating subsidiaries and supports wealth distribution to shareholders.
RLI has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 18.1% and 22.5%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.6% over the last 30 days.
Root Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/root#NASDAQ">ROOT</a>) provides insurance products and services in the United States.

The July consumer inflation report released Wednesday confirmed a continued cooling trend in price increases across the economy, with the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) coming in at 2.9% year-over-year, slightly below both the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/08/40365730/july-inflation-rate-falls-more-than-expected-supports-hopes-for-large-fed-rate-cu">previous and expected 3%. </a>
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, also saw a modest decline from 3.3% to 3.2% year-over-year, aligning with economists&#8217; forecasts.
For investors, this signals that the Federal Reserve may have the green light to cut interest rates in September. However, the odds of a 25 basis point hike are slightly higher than those of a 50 basis point cut.
Wall Street had a mixed response to the data. Major indices initially rose around 10 a.m. E.T. before flattening out by midday trading in New York.
Both S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 are striving to secure their fifth consecutive sessions in the green.
Financial stocks outperformed among the 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500. The biggest laggards were communication services, weighed down by a decline in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), and consumer discretionary, dragged by Tesla Inc.

Long-dated Treasury yields fell by 4 basis points, boosting the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) by 0.6%.
The U.S. dollar index, as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), remained steady, while gold eased by 1%.
Oil prices, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), declined by 1.1%, marking the second consecutive session of losses.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dropped 2.4% to $59,100.

Allstate shares are trading higher after the company agreed to sell its Employer Voluntary Benefits business to StanCorp Financial Group for $2.0 billion.

The Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) shares are trading higher after the company reached a definitive deal to sell its Employer Voluntary Benefits business to StanCorp Financial Group, Inc. for $2.0 billion in cash, subject to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40354903/allstate-to-sell-employer-voluntary-benefits-business-to-the-standard" rel="noreferrer noopener">customary conditions and approvals</a>.
The sale is projected to generate a $600 million gain and<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> increase deployable capital by $1.6 billion.</a>
Allstate expects adjusted net income return on equity to decrease by approximately 100 basis points after the sale. The deal is anticipated to close in the first half of 2025.
The sale marks the initial phase of Allstate&#8217;s strategy to enhance growth by merging its Employer Voluntary Benefits, Individual Health, and Group Health businesses with companies that offer additional capabilities.
Apart from this, the companies will also form a product distribution partnership. Under the cooperation, The Standard will exclusively handle group life, disability, and other benefits sold through Allstate&#8217;s agents, providing a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40354955/the-standard-to-acquire-allstate-employer-voluntary-benefits-business-companies-announce-distribut" rel="noreferrer noopener">trusted group benefits partner</a>.
Tom Wilson, Chair, President and CEO of The Allstate Corporation, said, &#8220;Allstate&#8217;s Employer Voluntary Benefits business provides protection to over 3.5 million customers who will continue to be well served by The Standard. The alignment between Allstate&#8217;s industry-leading product offerings, employer relationships, distribution and talented team and The Standard&#8217;s group benefits business will provide customers with broader protection and higher value.&#8221;
&#8220;Allstate shareholders will also benefit as capital is deployed to increase market share in personal property-liability and expand protection offerings. Discussions on the sale of the Individual and Group Health businesses are continuing and are expected to achieve the same success.&#8221;
Allstate stock gained over&nbsp;60% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco KBW Property &amp; Casualty Insurance ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBWP#NASDAQ">KBWP</a>) and IShares U.S. Insurance ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAK#NYSE">IAK</a>).

Jefferies Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Allstate (ALL)

Shares of The Allstate Corp. (ALL) have gained as much as 35% so far this year. Investors who've enjoyed this rally wonder if there is more room for further upside or if the stock peaked. Let's find out… The Allstate Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ALL/">ALL</a>) has been on an impressive run this year, with its stock surging 35% year-to-date. This rise has caught the attention of many investors wondering if there's still room for further gains.
The company's impressive turnaround in the second quarter, transitioning from a net loss to solid profits, was largely driven by higher premiums, stronger underwriting, and fewer catastrophe-related losses. Its consolidated premiums written for the quarter were at $15.43 billion, reflecting a 12.4% increase year-over-year. At the same time, its catastrophe losses dropped to $2.12 billion, down from $2.70 billion.
Insurers often avoid the ups and downs in demand that plague other financial firms, thanks in part to the widespread use of employer-sponsored and government-mandated insurance policies. With the economy showing signs of a soft landing, markets have reached all-time highs in 2024, which is good news for insurers like Allstate as it boosts their investment income.
Tom Wilson, Allstate's CEO, highlighted that these strong results reflect the company's effective strategies, setting them up for continued success. ALL helped nearly 2 million customers in the last quarter by handling claims related to storms, accidents, and device breakages.
Shares of ALL have gained 36.9% over the past nine months and 66.9% over the past year, closing the last trading session at $188.69.
Now, let's look at factors that could influence ALL's performance in the upcoming months:
Solid Financial Performance
For the second quarter that ended on June 30, 2024, ALL reported total revenues of $15.71 billion, up 12.4% year-over-year and slightly above the analyst's estimate of $15.23 billion. Its property and casualty insurance premiums increased by 11.9% year-over-year to $13.95 billion. Net investment income grew 16.7% from the year-ago value to $712 million.
Further, the company's income from operations (before income tax expense) stood at $430 million versus a prior year's loss of $1.75 billion. ALL's non-GAAP net income amounted to $429 million and $1.61 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $1.16 billion and $4.42 per share in the same quarter last year. Additionally, its total investments increased to $70.60 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $66.68 billion as of December 31, 2023.
Favorable Analyst Estimates
The consensus revenue estimate of $15.67 billion for the fiscal third quarter (ending September 2024) represents an 8.1% increase year-over-year. The consensus <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp">EPS</a> estimate of $3.25 for the current quarter indicates a 300.8% improvement year-over-year. The company has an excellent surprise history, surpassing the consensus revenue and EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
For the fiscal year ending December 2024, the company's revenue is anticipated to grow 10.3% year-over-year to $62.97 billion, while its EPS is expected to increase significantly from the prior year period to $15.14.
In addition, Street expects its revenue and EPS for the fiscal year 2025 to grow 8.6% and 19.3% from the same period last year to $68.41 billion and $18.06, respectively.
Discounted Valuation
In terms of forward non-GAAP PEG, ALL is currently trading at 0.07x, 94.3% lower than the industry average of 1.29x. Likewise, its forward EV/Sales multiple of 0.94 is 69.8% lower than the industry average of 3.12x. In addition, the stock's 10.74x forward EV/EBIT ratio is 6% below the 11.43x industry average. Also, its forward Price/Sales multiple of 0.79 compares to the industry average of 2.86.
High Profitability
ALL's trailing-12-month ROCE of 19.32% is 86.8% higher than the 10.35% industry average. Similarly, the stock's 10.57% trailing-12-month ROTC is 52.4% above the 6.94% industry average. Further, its trailing-12-month asset turnover ratio of 0.58x compares to the industry average of 0.22x.
POWR Ratings Show Promise
ALL's strong fundamentals are reflected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. It has an overall B rating, equating to a Buy in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated considering 118 distinct factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. ALL boasts an A grade for Growth, consistent with its solid financial performance in the last reported quarter.
The stock's A grade for Momentum is justified by its share price trading above its 50-day moving average of $180.80 and 200-day moving average of $165.39. Also, its 0.48 beta justifies its B grade for Stability.
ALL is ranked #7 out of 55 stocks in the A-rated <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/property-casualty-insurance/">Insurance - Property &amp; Casualty</a> industry. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ALL/">Click here</a> to access ALL's Value, Sentiment, and Quality ratings.
Bottom Line
ALL's strong financial performance in the second quarter shows that it's effectively carrying out its profit improvement plan and pushing forward with its Transformative Growth strategy. The company has seen a nice bump in investment income and lower catastrophe losses, which means it's doing well in managing risks and helping customers.
Plus, it has the financial flexibility and resources to support its future growth plans. With that in mind, it looks like there's still plenty of room for Allstate to keep growing, making it a solid choice for investors looking to capitalize on potential gains in the insurance sector.
