Allstate Corp. (ISIN US0200021014) was last at USD 223.74 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.30 percent as Citigroup cut its price target from USD 240.00 to USD 215.00. Markets Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that Citi kept its Sell rating and cited lower book value estimates, a higher discount rate and competitive risks.

Citi cuts target after strong results

The downgrade puts the USD 215.00 target below the October 2 reference price, while the latest quarterly figures point in the opposite direction. According to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026, Allstate delivered Q2 adjusted EPS of USD 8.99 against USD 6.06 consensus, a USD 2.93 beat.

The same Q2 report showed revenue of USD 18.60 billion, up 11.8 percent year over year, while net income reached USD 3.2 billion, up 56 percent. The combination gives investors two competing signals: operating performance was strong, but Citi's valuation view became more cautious.

Q2 earnings reset the baseline

Zacks reported that Q2 2026 adjusted EPS advanced 51.3 percent year over year, while property and casualty premiums rose 4.2 percent to USD 15.7 billion. Net investment income increased 33.8 percent to USD 1.0 billion, supporting the earnings result.

That strength came with a measurable counter-factor. StockTitan reported estimated August 2026 catastrophe losses of USD 748 million before tax and USD 591 million after tax, with 21 events recorded in the company disclosure.

Consensus stays above the market

MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus from 20 analysts, with an average 12-month target of USD 264.00, a high of USD 319.00 and a low of USD 215.00. The average target lies 18.0 percent above the USD 223.74 reference price.

Zacks lists November 4, 2026 as Allstate's next earnings release date for the third quarter. That report will test whether the Q2 earnings strength can offset the catastrophe and valuation concerns behind recent target cuts.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Allstate was last at USD 223.74 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with a USD 57.6 billion market capitalization and volume of 1,692,798 shares. Its 52-week range was USD 188.08 to USD 277.22, leaving the stock USD 53.48 below the high.
