Wells Fargo analyst Elyse Greenspan assigned a Hold rating to Allstate (NYSE: ALL) today. The company’s shares opened today at $95.46.
Greenspan observed:
“We are leaving our Q2 cat estimate for ALL at $875 million pretax, which now includes $664 million of cats over the remaining two months of the quarter (todate PCS has two events in May, although none of them have loss estimates yet). We do not expect much movement in the ALL shares coming off of the cat preannouncement. Sitting down with ALL next week at our Financials Conference. We will sit down with ALL next Wednesday (May 23) at our Investor Relations. Paramount interest to us is getting a better view on the loss cost trends ALL expects over the balance of the year, the level of growth they should see (both in terms of new business and a pickup in retention), and view on capital/M&A potential.”
