"We have a buy rating on [Allstate]," Shields said. "I think what we're looking for in the fourth quarter, on the underwriting side, they already put out their initial estimates for the losses in the California wildfires and other catastrophes. I think on the investment side, we're expecting some level of write-downs for Allstate's investments that pertain to prime mortgages and related securities."
