- Third-quarter revenue rose while common-shareholder income and underwriting income declined.
- Property-Liability policies expanded, but catastrophe losses increased sharply year over year.
- Arity completed the INRIX acquisition and agreed to acquire Replica's remaining ownership.
Allstate reported its third-quarter 2026 results on Wednesday, November 4, with policy growth and higher investment income offset by heavier catastrophe losses. The company's Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, showed a mixed operating picture.
Allstate stock traded at 226.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:15 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026. That was 2.52 percent below the 232.55-euro quote recorded in the previous report on Friday, November 6. This comparison is separate from the Xetra daily close.
Policy growth meets catastrophe pressure
Total revenue rose 0.5 percent year over year to 17.348 billion US dollars for the quarter ended September 30. Net income applicable to common shareholders fell 44.8 percent to 2.050 billion US dollars, while adjusted net income declined 16.2 percent to 2.493 billion US dollars, or 9.76 US dollars per diluted share.
Total policies in force increased 3.9 percent to 217.610 million. Property-Liability policies grew 3.3 percent, including a 3.4 percent increase in auto policies and a 3.3 percent rise in homeowners policies. Earned premiums in the segment advanced 3.8 percent to 15.086 billion US dollars.
The main pressure came from claims volatility. Property-Liability catastrophe losses reached 1.650 billion US dollars, compared with 558 million US dollars a year earlier. The recorded combined ratio rose to 86.6 from 80.1, while underwriting income fell 30.1 percent to 2.022 billion US dollars.
Homeowners insurance absorbed much of the deterioration: its recorded combined ratio widened to 89.5 from 71.5, and underwriting income dropped to 452 million US dollars from 1.107 billion US dollars. Its underlying combined ratio was 60.1, showing that catastrophe effects were a major part of the reported pressure.
Arity expands mobility platform
Protection Services provided a counterweight, with revenue up 6.9 percent to 964 million US dollars and adjusted net income rising by 18 million US dollars to 64 million US dollars. In October, Arity acquired INRIX, while in November it agreed to acquire the remaining ownership of Replica. The Replica transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026, subject to customary conditions.
Investment income increased by 228 million US dollars to 1.177 billion US dollars, but Allstate recorded net losses of 545 million US dollars on investments and derivatives, compared with gains of 252 million US dollars in the prior-year quarter. The combination leaves reported earnings sensitive to both claims activity and capital-market movements.
