Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about The Allstate Corporation (NYSE:ALL) in its Q1 2023 investor letter. Here is what it said:

“Elsewhere in financials, the stocks of two of our insurance holdings – AIG and The Allstate Corporation (NYSE:ALL) – came under pressure we believe due to the negative sentiment in the sector generally. These businesses are very different from banks, and we continue to have strong conviction in their ability to grow intrinsic value over the long term. In fact, Allstate is a new position that we added to the portfolio in Q1. It is one of the largest providers of auto and homeowners’ insurance in the United States. Allstate has a strong brand and significant scale advantages over smaller peers. Recent results have been pressured by rising claims costs across the industry; however, we believe that price changes instituted by the company will drive improvement to more normalized levels over the next couple of years.”
