01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 19, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Allstate Corp. (NYSE: ALL) filed an 8-K on March 19, 2026, furnishing under Regulation FD its February 2026 monthly release.
The release reports estimated catastrophe losses for February of $140 milliona pre-tax ($111 million after-tax), bringing year-to-date January-February catastrophe losses to $315 million pre-tax ($249 million after-tax). The exhibit is furnished rather than filed, so it is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and it is not an earnings release. Operationally, total Allstate Protection policies in force rose to 38,437 thousand at February 28, 2026, up 0.5% from January 31, 2026 and 2.5% year over year.
Growth was led by auto (25,633 thousand, up 3.0%b year over year) and homeowners (7,726 thousand, up 2.5% year over year). Commercial lines were the exception, declining 10.2% year over year to 176 thousand policies, although they grew slightly sequentially.
For investors, the key takeaways are steady policy growth in the core personal lines franchise and a relatively modest two-month catastrophe loss figure. The release does not contain premium, combined ratio, or earnings data, so investors should look to Allstate's quarterly earnings reports for profitability and to monthly releases for trend tracking on catastrophe activity and policy counts.
