Allstate Corp Boosts Stakes in Old Dominion and Jabil by Over 89%

Key Facts

In a move reflecting institutional confidence in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, Allstate Corp significantly bolstered its equity positions during the fourth quarter. According to reports, the insurer increased its stake in Old Dominion Freight Line by 89.1%, bringing the position value to $2 million, and raised its holding in Jabil, Inc. by 98.0% to reach a value of $1.8 million. These increases followed strong quarterly reports where both companies exceeded EPS and revenue expectations.
