Company Overview

Born from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. initiative during the Great Depression with its famous "You're in good hands" slogan, Allstate (NYSE: ALL) is one of America's largest personal property and casualty insurers, offering protection for autos, homes, and personal property.

Revenue Growth

Insurance companies generate revenue three ways. The first is the core insurance business itself, represented in the income statement as premiums earned. The second source is investment income from investing the “float” (premiums collected but not yet paid out as claims) in assets such as fixed-income assets and equities. The third is fees from policy administration, annuities, and other value-added services. Thankfully, Allstate’s 9.9% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was solid. Its growth beat the average insurance company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Allstate’s annualized revenue growth of 9.4% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was predictably strong. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Allstate reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 3.8% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 2.8%.

Net premiums earned made up 90.8% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning Allstate lives and dies by its underwriting activities because non-insurance operations barely move the needle.

While insurers generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net premiums earned as the cornerstone - its direct link to core operations stands in sharp contrast to the unpredictability of investment returns and fees.
