Sentry earns AM Best A+ superior rating for 34th year in a row

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (July 8, 2025) – For the 34th consecutive year, Sentry Insurance has been rated A+ (superior) by AM Best, which cited the mutual insurer’s “favorable” business profile.

In AM Best’s annual review, the insurance credit rating agency highlighted Sentry’s capital and balance sheet strength, the diversity of its business lines, and its track record of stable operating performance as reasons for the company’s strong financial rating.

“I am very proud of our associates and management for 34 years of excellence. The consistency of our results is attributable to the diversity of our business, and the talent of our team over multiple decades,” said Pete McPartland, Sentry Chairman and CEO. “I feel very good about our ability to sustain these results going forward.”

In February, AM Best upgraded The General®’s Financial Strength Rating to A+ (superior) and its Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to “aa–” (superior) following its acquisition by Sentry. As part of its review, AM Best commented that the acquisition of The General® reaffirms Sentry’s growth potential.

In rankings released in June, Sentry ranked 614 on the Fortune 1000, based on its $5.4 billion in revenue for 2024—up nearly 10% from 2023. This is Sentry’s highest ranking ever, up 29 spots from only a year ago when the insurer was ranked No. 643.
