Allstate (ALL) Stock Still Looks Reasonable After A 155% Run

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Allstate has delivered a powerful run over the past few years, and the stock now sits at US$261.12 after a strong stretch of returns. With that share price move in the rear-view mirror and fresh earnings news on the table, the open question is whether today's valuation is still grounded in the insurer's profit engine.

  • Over the past 5 years the stock has returned about 155%, which puts real pressure on the earnings story to carry that kind of performance.
  • Recent earnings reports highlighted higher adjusted profit and growth in key insurance policies, which can support expectations for what Allstate's ongoing earnings power might justify.

Is Allstate Still Cheap on Earnings?

P/E tends to suit Allstate because earnings remain a key lens for insurance groups, where accounting profits capture underwriting and investment results together. On this lens, Allstate trades on roughly 5.6x earnings, which is well below the Insurance industry average of about 11.6x and also under the peer cohort near 9.9x. A tailored fair multiple that adjusts for Allstate's growth outlook, profitability profile, size and risk mix points to a higher level than the current P/E. This frames the stock as undervalued on this approach.

Because the latest Q3 2026 report showed Allstate posting solid adjusted earnings and higher policies in force, this lower P/E appears less like a simple reflection of weak profitability and more like a discount that investors need to interpret against their own expectations for how durable those earnings will be. The gap to that modelled fair P/E gives you a concrete sense of how much the market is currently shading Allstate's profit stream. Explore the numbers behind Allstate's P/E valuation.
