Allstate, Progressive, Primerica, Trupanion Fall on Severe-Weather Earnings Risk
Allstate, Progressive, Primerica, and Trupanion shares fell as investors continued to mark down the group on earnings risk from an active severe-weather season. The latest hard number came last week, when Allstate said in its August monthly release that estimated pre-tax catastrophe losses were $748 million, driven by 21 weather events, with roughly half tied to a single wind and hail storm. Combined July and August catastrophe losses reached $1.43 billion pre-tax, the company said. Allstate fell 5.7%, Trupanion fell 5%, Primerica fell 2.8%, and Progressive fell 2.6%. Allstate is up 12.5% since the beginning of the year, but at $229.33 per share it is still trading 16.6% below its 52-week high of $275.11.
