The Elite

The following companies were found to be suitable for either the Defensive Investor or Enterprising Investor and undervalued:

Allstate Corporation (ALL, Financial)

Allstate passes the initial requirements of the Enterprising Investor but not the Defensive Investor. In fact, the company passes every requirement of the Enterprising Investor types, but the Defensive Investor is concerned by the lack of earnings stability and insufficient earnings growth over the last ten years. As a result, all Enterprising Investors should feel very comfortable proceeding to the next part of the analysis, which is a determination of the company's intrinsic value.

When it comes to that valuation, it is critical to consider the company's earnings history. In this case, it has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.38 in 2011 to an estimated $4.97 for 2015. This is a fairly strong level of demonstrated growth, and outpaces the market's implied estimate for annual earnings growth of only 2.69% over the next 7-10 years.

In recent years, the company's actual growth in EPSmg has averaged around 52% annually, and while the ModernGraham valuation model reduces the actual growth to a more conservative figure when making an estimate, the model still returns an estimate of intrinsic value well above the current price, indicating that Allstate is significantly undervalued at the present time.
