What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 32% discount to our $334.00 fair value, moderate competitive moat, 11.80% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-08 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 31.8% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 22 covering, consensus Hold. The average target sits +11% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.
Price History & Projections
Where it has been, where the models see it going. History from market close data; projection points are our fair-value estimates and third-party analyst targets, dated to the 2026-09-08 screen.
Fair value and rating are our own model estimates; the Street's range reflects third-party analyst estimates. Analysis, not advice.
The Business, in Plain Words
Insurance payouts meet an ethical wall
Every time a driver files a claim after a crash or a homeowner calls about storm damage, Allstate steps in to settle the bill. Yet we pass on the name. The business clears the numbers test with an 18 percent profit margin and 45 percent ROE, yet it fails the ethical screen on business activity grounds, and that single fact ends the case.
Revenue edges forward at just 3 percent, the forward multiple sits at 9.4 times, and the shares trade only 4 percent below our fair value. Analyst targets cluster around 252 dollars while the current price is 249.90, leaving little margin once the ethical filter is applied.
Insurance cycles can turn quickly when catastrophes cluster or reserves prove thin, and a low multiple on peak earnings often signals a value trap rather than a bargain. The ethical screen exists precisely for moments like this. Analysis, not advice.
The risks · The main risks here are ordinary market swings and the chance our fair-value read proves too optimistic.
