Allstate: Cheap Cash Flow and Strong ROE Make a Tactical Long Despite Profit Cyclical Peak
Allstate (ALL) trades at a sub-5x P/E and roughly 1.9x book with free cash flow of $12.25B and ROE near 39%. Profits may be near cyclical highs as underwriting tailwinds normalize, but the valuation and capital returns create an asymmetric risk-reward for a measured long over the next 180 trading days.
