- Insurer Allstate Corp on Wednesday posted a quarterly profit, compared to a year-ago loss, on the back of higher premiums in its property-liability unit.
The company said it was pursuing the sale of Allstate's Health and Benefits businesses and expects a sale would likely be completed in 2024. Demand for insurance products has remained resilient in an uncertain economy and the sector is typically considered recession-proof as many policies are often guaranteed by employers, while some are mandated by the government.
The insurer posted a profit of 81 cents on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, compared to a loss of $1.53 per share a year earlier.Premiums in the property-liability business increased 10% to $12.3 billion in the third quarter, driven by rate increases, the company said.
