Goldman Sachs upgraded Allstate (NYSE: ALL) from Sell to Neutral and raised their price target from $31 to $37 following better-than-expected Q1 results and execution.

The firm comments, "We are moving to a Neutral rating on shares of Allstate and removing from the Americas Sell list, as the company appears to be able to digest higher advertising costs in Esurance through more profitable underwriting elsewhere."

Goldman raised FY12 EPS from $3.57 to $4.13, FY13 from $3.64 to $4.05 and FY14 from $3.85 to $4.35.
