UnitedHealth Group and Deckers Outdoor are two of the worst-performing stocks in 2025
This healthcare giant is in trouble
Shares of UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) are down 41% so far in 2025. Over the past few months, United Healthcare has sharply reduced its annual forecast, experienced a rapid rise in claim costs, attracted regulatory scrutiny over potential overbilling, and lost its CEO in an abrupt departure. Several analysts have cut their ratings and price targets on the stock as a result.
Though the company does face near-term uncertainty, the recent sell-off has made UnitedHealth perhaps one of the biggest bargains on the market today with shares trading at just over 12 times earnings. Investors who choose to buy the dip, however, should be prepared to experience continued volatility.
Deckers Outdoor is down roughly 50%
Deckers Outdoor (NYSE: DECK) makes footwear and apparel with a brand portfolio that includes UGG, Hoka, Teva and Koolaburra. With shares cut in half in 2025, Deckers is the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 year to date. What's going on?
President Trump's new tariff policies forced the company to scrap its entire annual forecast, with management citing unpredictable increases in manufacturing costs as roughly 20% of its products are made in China. Costs are expected to rise by around $150 million in fiscal 2026.
After the drop, shares trade at just 15.5 times trailing earnings with some arguing the stock is now a long-term buy.

Allstate Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025. "Allstate had strong operating and financial performance in the second quarter while executing our growth strategies," said Tom Wilson, who leads The Allstate Corporation. "Revenues increased to $16.6 billion and net income was $2.1 billion for the quarter. Adjusted net income* was $1.6 billion, $5.94 per diluted share, which excludes a $643 million gain from the Employer Voluntary Benefits business divestiture." "In addition to strong financial results, we are creating shareholder value by increasing growth and proactively managing investments and capital. Total policies in force increased to 208 million, 4% higher than last year, led by Protection Plans. Personal property-liability policies have begun to grow due to expanded distribution, new products and increased marketing. Protection Plans continued to expand with international revenues up 30% above the prior year. The $77.4 billion investment portfolio generated $754 million of income in the quarter while lowering overall portfolio risk. Redeployment of capital out of the health businesses was completed on July 1 with the sale of Group Health, bringing total divestiture proceeds to $3.25 billion for this segment," concluded Wilson. Second Quarter 2025 Results Total revenues of $16.6 billion in the second quarter of 2025 were $919 million or 5.8% higher than the prior year quarter. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $301 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting strong operating results and a $643 million gain, after-tax, from the sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business. Adjusted net income* was $1.6 billion, or $5.94 per diluted share, compared to $429 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income return on common shareholders equity* was 28.6%.

NM = not meaningful Property-Liability earned premiums of $14.3 billion increased 7.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher average premiums and modest policy in force growth.

Policies in force increased by 0.6% as a 31.3% decline in commercial policies partially offset growth in personal property-liability. Property-Liability combined ratio was 91.1 for the quarter which was an improvement of 10.0 points versus the prior year quarter due to improved underlying margins and favorable prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates. Allstate Protection auto insurance generated strong margins while accelerating new business growth, which increased policies in force compared to the prior year quarter.

Auto insurance rate increases result in an annualized premium impact of 0.4% in the second quarter, reflecting continued moderation in loss cost trends. Auto insurance policies in force have begun to grow due to expanded distribution, increased marketing, new products and sophisticated rating plans. Policies grew by 0.5% as a 24.8% increase in new business was negatively impacted by reductions in New York and New Jersey and lower customer retention. Policy growth was 1.9% over the prior year, excluding New York and New Jersey, which have pending regulatory requests which would open these markets. The recorded auto insurance combined ratio of 86.0 in the second quarter of 2025 was a 9.9 point improvement from the prior year quarter, reflecting higher average earned premiums, moderating loss costs and favorable prior year non-catastrophe reserve releases. Prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates were favorable $415 million in the second quarter, a 4.3 point combined ratio impact, reflecting improvement in loss trends. The underlying auto insurance combined ratio* of 87.8 in the second quarter of 2025 was a 5.7 point improvement from the prior year quarter, as higher average earned premiums continued to outpace loss and expense trends. Allstate Protection homeowners insurance generated an underwriting loss of $76 million compared to a loss of $375 million in the prior year. Underlying margins improved and policies in force increased.

A 13.7% increase in Allstate brand homeowners insurance average gross written premium compared to the prior year quarter reflects continued rate increases and higher insured home replacement costs. Catastrophe losses of $1.6 billion in the quarter were in line with the prior year quarter. The recorded homeowners insurance combined ratio of 102.0 was 9.5 points below the second quarter of 2024, due to higher average premiums and favorable underlying trends. The underlying combined ratio* of 58.6 improved by 4.9 points compared to the prior year quarter primarily driven by higher average premiums and favorable non-catastrophe claim frequency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protection Services continues to broaden protection to customers through five businesses that include embedded Allstate branded offerings in non-insurance purchases. Revenues increased to $867 million in the second quarter of 2025, 12.2% higher than the prior year quarter, primarily due to Allstate Protection Plans. Adjusted net income of $60 million increased by $5 million compared to the prior year quarter.

Revenue of $563 million increased $80 million, or 16.6%, compared to the prior year quarter reflecting strong international growth. Adjusted net income of $51 million in the second quarter of 2025 was $10 million higher than the prior year quarter. Allstate Dealer Services generated revenue of $148 million and adjusted net income of $4 million, a slight decline compared to $6 million in the prior year quarter due to higher loss costs. Allstate Roadside revenue of $56 million in the second quarter of 2025 increased 9.8% compared to the prior year quarter reflecting increased bundling with Allstate branded Affordable, Simple, Connected auto insurance products and higher third-party sales. Adjusted net income of $11 million in the second quarter was $3 million higher than the prior year quarter. Arity revenue of $59 million increased $7 million compared to the prior year quarter, due to higher lead generation revenue. Adjusted net loss of $8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a $2 million loss in the prior year reflecting increased operating expenses. Allstate Identity Protection revenue of $41 million in the second quarter of 2025 increased 5.1% compared to the prior year quarter reflecting growth in the employee benefits channel. Adjusted net income of $2 million in the second quarter of 2025 was unchanged compared to the prior year quarter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allstate Health and Benefits The sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business closed on April 1, 2025, generating a financial book gain of $643 million, after-tax, in the second quarter of 2025. The sale of the Group Health business closed on July 1, 2025, generating a financial book gain of approximately $500 million that will be recorded in the third quarter of 2025. Operating results were reported in the Health and Benefits segment, and the assets and liabilities of the business are classified as held for sale for the second quarter. Premiums and contract charges for health and benefits decreased 50.4%, or $239 million, compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business. Adjusted net income of $4 million in the second quarter was $54 million lower than prior year quarter attributable to the sale of the Employer Voluntary Benefits business and increased benefit utilization in the Group Health and Individual Health businesses.

Net investment income of $754 million in the second quarter of 2025, increased by $42 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to market-based portfolio growth, partially offset by lower performance-based income.

(2) Includes investments held for sale. Market-based investment income was $733 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $66 million, or 9.9%, compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting increased asset balances and slightly higher fixed income yields in the $67.1 billion market-based portfolio. Performance-based investment income totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $28 million compared to the prior year quarter reflecting lower private equity valuation increases. The overall portfolio allocation to performance-based assets provides a diversifying source of higher long-term returns; volatility in reported results is expected. Net losses on investments and derivatives were $144 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to losses of $103 million in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2025 losses were driven by sales of fixed income securities partially offset by valuation increases on equity instruments. Unrealized net capital gains improved by $492 million to the prior quarter as lower interest rates resulted in higher fixed income valuations and prior unrealized loss balances were converted to realized through fixed income sales. Total return on the investment portfolio was 1.4% for the second quarter of 2025 and 5.4% for the latest twelve months. Macroeconomic impacts are regularly monitored through our integrated Enterprise Risk and Return Management framework. In the second quarter of 2025, investment risks were lowered by reducing public equity and high yield bond allocations and shortening the fixed income portfolio duration. Proactive Capital Management "Allstate's results support our growth strategy creating shareholder value," said Jess Merten, Chief Financial Officer. "Adjusted net income return on equity* was 28.6% for the latest 12 months. Divestiture of the Employer Voluntary Benefits and Group Health businesses positions those businesses for success and reallocates capital to Allstate's strategic growth opportunities. Shareholders also benefited from a 9% increase in the quarterly dividend to $1.00 per common share, and we repurchased $341 million of common stock."

Our methods for calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted net income (loss) is net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, excluding: Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives Pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles Gain or loss on disposition Adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, or (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years Related income tax expense or benefit of these items Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to adjusted net income. We use adjusted net income as an important measure to evaluate our results of operations. We believe that the measure provides investors with a valuable measure of the Company's ongoing performance because it reveals trends in our insurance and financial services business that may be obscured by the net effect of net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses, amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles, gain or loss on disposition and adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items and the related tax expense or benefit of these items. Net gains and losses on investments and derivatives, and pension and other postretirement remeasurement gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Gain or loss on disposition is excluded because it is non-recurring in nature and the amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles is excluded because it relates to the acquisition purchase price and is not indicative of our underlying business results or trends. Non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of our business or economic trends. Accordingly, adjusted net income excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period and highlights the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our business. A byproduct of excluding these items to determine adjusted net income is the transparency and understanding of their significance to net income variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. Adjusted net income is used by management along with the other components of net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders to assess our performance. We use adjusted measures of adjusted net income in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to evaluate net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, adjusted net income and their components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing and evaluating our performance. We note that investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize adjusted net income results in their evaluation of our and our industry's financial performance and in their investment decisions, recommendations and communications as it represents a reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the Company and management's performance. We note that the price to earnings multiple commonly used by insurance investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses adjusted net income as the denominator. Adjusted net income should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. The following tables reconcile net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss). Taxes on adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and adjusted net income (loss) generally use a 21% effective tax rate.

It is calculated by dividing the rolling 12-month adjusted net income by the average of Allstate common shareholders' equity at the beginning and at the end of the 12-months, after excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses. Return on Allstate common shareholders' equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We use adjusted net income as the numerator for the same reasons we use adjusted net income, as discussed previously. We use average Allstate common shareholders' equity excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains and losses for the denominator as a representation of common shareholders' equity primarily applicable to Allstate's earned and realized business operations because it eliminates the effect of items that are unrealized and vary significantly between periods due to external economic developments such as capital market conditions like changes in interest rates, the amount and timing of which are unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. We use it to supplement our evaluation of net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders and return on Allstate common shareholders' equity because it excludes the effect of items that tend to be highly variable from period to period. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and that it provides a valuable tool for investors when considered along with return on Allstate common shareholders' equity because it eliminates the after-tax effects of realized and unrealized net capital gains and losses that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and that are driven by economic developments, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management. In addition, it eliminates non-recurring items that are not indicative of our ongoing business or economic trends. A byproduct of excluding the items noted above to determine adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity from return on Allstate common shareholders' equity is the transparency and understanding of their significance to return on common shareholders' equity variability and profitability while recognizing these or similar items may recur in subsequent periods. We use adjusted measures of adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity in incentive compensation. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to have adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and return on Allstate common shareholders' equity when evaluating our performance. We note that investors, financial analysts, financial and business media organizations and rating agencies utilize adjusted net income return on common shareholders' equity results in their evaluation of our and our industry's financial performance and in their investment decisions, recommendations and communications as it represents a reliable, representative and consistent measurement of the industry and the company and management's utilization of capital. We also provide it to facilitate a comparison to our long-term adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity goal. Adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity should not be considered a substitute for return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business. The following tables reconcile return on Allstate common shareholders' equity and adjusted net income (loss) return on Allstate common shareholders' equity. ($ in millions) For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 2024 Return on Allstate common shareholders' equity Numerator: Net income applicable to common shareholders $ 5,705 $ 2,909 Denominator: Beginning Allstate common shareholders' equity $ 16,592 $ 13,516 Ending Allstate common shareholders' equity (1) 22,018 16,592 Average Allstate common shareholders' equity $ 19,305 $ 15,054 Return on Allstate common shareholders' equity 29.6 % 19.3 % ($ in millions) For the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 2024 Adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity Numerator: Adjusted net income * $ 5,650 $ 3,551 Denominator: Beginning Allstate common shareholders' equity $ 16,592 $ 13,516 Less: Unrealized net capital gains and losses (938 ) (1,845 ) Adjusted beginning Allstate common shareholders' equity 17,530 15,361 Ending Allstate common shareholders' equity (1) 22,018 16,592 Less: Unrealized net capital gains and losses 36 (938 ) Adjusted ending Allstate common shareholders' equity 21,982 17,530 Average adjusted Allstate common shareholders' equity $ 19,756 $ 16,446 Adjusted net income return on Allstate common shareholders' equity * 28.6 % 21.6 % _____________ (1) Excludes equity related to preferred stock of $2,001 million for both periods shown. Combined ratio excluding the effect of catastrophes, prior year reserve reestimates and amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles ("underlying combined ratio") is a non-GAAP ratio, which is computed as the difference between four GAAP operating ratios: the combined ratio, the effect of catastrophes on the combined ratio, the effect of prior year non-catastrophe reserve reestimates on the combined ratio, and the effect of amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles on the combined ratio. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors, and it is used by management to reveal the trends in our Property-Liability business that may be obscured by catastrophe losses, prior year reserve reestimates and amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles. Catastrophe losses cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on the combined ratio. Prior year reserve reestimates are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves, which could increase or decrease current year net income. Amortization or impairment of purchased intangibles relates to the acquisition purchase price and is not indicative of our underlying insurance business results or trends. We believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is the combined ratio. The underlying combined ratio should not be considered a substitute for the combined ratio and does not reflect the overall underwriting profitability of our business. The following tables reconcile the respective combined ratio to the underlying combined ratio. Underwriting margin is calculated as 100% minus the combined ratio.

Trump rips ‘second tier' Sen. Josh Hawley over his PELOSI Act congressional stock trading ban
President Trump lashed out at Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) Wednesday for forging ahead with his proposed ban on congressional stock trading, accusing the senator of enabling Democrats to target him. Hawley's Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act cleared the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in an 8–7 vote, with the Missouri Republican joining all Democrats. 'Very much like SABOTAGE! The Democrats, because of our tremendous ACHIEVEMENTS and SUCCESS, have been trying to 'Target' me for a long period of time, and they're using Josh Hawley, who I got elected TWICE, as a pawn to help them,' Trump groused on Truth Social. Advertisement 'I don't think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the 'whims' of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!' Hawley chafed with Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), a key Trump ally during the committee's hearing earlier in the day Wednesday. 4 Sen. Josh Hawley banded together with Democrats to advance the PELOSI Act out of committee without the chairman's blessing. AP Advertisement 4 President Trump accused Sen. Josh Hawley of backstabbing him with the PELOSI Act. x/Acyn 'This idea that we are going to attack people because they make money is absolutely wrong,' Scott, the wealthiest member of the Senate, argued during the hearing. 'I think it's disgusting what's going on here. But I completely agree with you, we've got to stop people from trading stocks but this [bill] is way different.' Scott also asked how one could sell an illiquid asset under the Hawley proposal. Advertisement 'You're concerned about the illiquid asset provision? It's the same one you voted for last year,' Hawley shot back. The PELOSI Act restricts lawmakers from owning individual stocks or trading them. Due to opposition from Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Hawley needed to get Democrats on board and reportedly agreed to tack on language ensuring that the president and vice president would face the ban as well. 4 Sen. Rick Scott publicly tangled with Sen. Josh Hawley over the bill to ban congressional stock trading. Getty Images Advertisement Trump seemingly caught wind of that. 'I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats. It's a great Bill for her, and her 'husband,' but so bad for our Country!' the president fumed on Truth Social. 'Why would one 'Republican,' Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi's Stock Trading over the last 25 years.' Hours before the Truth Social post, Trump conveyed open-mindedness to the proposal but cautioned that he would need to dive deeper into the details of it. 'I like it conceptually and you know Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information. She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that's disgraceful,' he told reporters Wednesday. 'I study these things really carefully, and this just happened. So I'll take a look at it.' 'What I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated.' Paul Pelosi, the California Democrat's venture capitalist husband, has amassed a fortune through investments he's made over the decades. Pelosi's estimated net worth is $262 million, according to Quiver Quantitative. Advertisement Critics, particularly Republicans, have argued that Paul's activities pose conflict of interest concerns given that his wife is one of the most influential Democrats on Capitol Hill. 4 Rep. Nancy Pelosi has been dogged by concerns for years about her husband's stock trading. Bryan Dozier/NurPhoto/Shutterstock 'Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,' Pelosi spokesperson Ian Krager told The Post when asked about Trump's comments. The Post reached out to a Hawley spokesperson for comment.

Trump goes off on Josh Hawley over insider trading bill
President Trump on Wednesday went off on one his closest allies in Congress, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) over voting in committee on a bill that would ban stock trading by lawmakers, presidents and vice presidents, arguing that Hawley teamed up with Democrats to advance the measure. The bill would ban congressional lawmakers and their spouses from trading stocks as well as presidents and vice presidents, but the latter would only apply to future administrations. Still, Trump, in a social media post, went off on Hawley claiming that he was being used by Democrats to target the president. He also questioned Hawley being the lone Republican on the panel to vote with Democrats 8-7 to advance the bill out of committee. 'Why would one 'Republican,' Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi's Stock Trading over the last 25 years. The information was inappropriately released just minutes before the Vote — Very much like SABOTAGE!' Trump said on Truth Social. It was a change of tune from earlier in the day when Trump was asked what he thought of the bill, to which he replied he liked it 'conceptually' before launching into an attack on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over unfounded claims of insider trading. 'I'll take a look at it. But conceptually I like it,' Trump said. 'And what I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because what she has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street save a few. And how did that happen?' Pelosi has come under attack from Republicans for stock trading done by her husband, though there is no evidence of wrongdoing. The former Speaker shortly after Trump's remarks and the Senate Committee vote was taken expressed support for the measure. Before the vote, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) pressed Hawley to work with him to improve the bill. But, Hawley and Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) expanded the ban to apply to the president and vice president for future administration before the vote, while also opting to drop the name that referred to Pelosi from the bill name. Trump, in lashing out at Hawley, said the Missouri Republican was playing into Democrats' 'dirty hands.' 'The Democrats, because of our tremendous ACHIEVEMENTS and SUCCESS, have been trying to 'Target' me for a long period of time, and they're using Josh Hawley, who I got elected TWICE, as a pawn to help them,' he said. 'I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats. It's a great Bill for her, and her 'husband,' but so bad for our Country!' 'I don't think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the 'whims' of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!' he said.
