Allstate Insurance said its catastrophe losses for April 2026 totaled $870 million, or $687 million after tax, as wind and hail storms drove the month’s results. The company said 10 wind and hail events made up the total, with about 70% of the losses tied to just two events.
The April figure was lower than the $925 million, or $731 million after-tax, Allstate estimated for March 2026, when 15 wind and hail events hit its book of business. In that month, three events accounted for about 80% of total losses, underscoring how quickly a few severe storms can move the numbers for a major property insurer.
The latest report also showed Allstate’s protection business still growing. As of April 30, 2026, the company had 25.80 million auto insurance policies in force, 7.7 million homeowners policies, 4.92 million other personal lines policies and 179,000 commercial lines policies, for a total of 38.57 million protection policies in force. That was up from 37.81 million in March 2025, when the company said its protection unit began posting steady year-over-year growth in policies in force.
The gains have not been even across the country. Since March 2025, Allstate Protection has expanded market share in 57% of states for auto insurance and in 83% of states for homeowners insurance, suggesting it has been adding business even as storm losses stayed elevated. The company, a provider of personal property and casualty insurance in the U.S., also compared April 2026 with April 2025, when catastrophe losses totaled $594 million, or $469 million after tax.
The timing of the report matters because Allstate said next month’s release will be the final one to include policies in force data, signaling a reporting change just as investors are tracking both growth and weather-driven volatility. For a company whose results are still being shaped by wind and hail, that leaves fewer monthly markers for judging how its book is evolving.
