STEVENS POINT, Wis., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentry Insurance has earned an A+ (superior) Financial Strength Rating from AM Best for the 35th consecutive year and advanced to No. 529 on the Fortune 1000, reflecting the company's continued financial strength and business growth.

"Recognition like this is earned through years of thoughtful decisions, the dedication of our employees, and the trust we've built through lasting relationships with our customers. We're proud that respected organizations continue to acknowledge those efforts," said Pete McPartland, Sentry Chairman and CEO.

In its annual review, AM Best reaffirmed Sentry's A+ (superior) Financial Strength Rating, citing the mutual insurer's capital and balance sheet strength, innovation and well-diversified business profile, and sustainable results. The A+ rating places Sentry among fewer than 10% of U.S.-based property and casualty insurance companies to earn the designation.

The company's continued momentum was also reflected in the 2026 Fortune 1000, where Sentry ranked No. 529, based on the company's 2025 revenue. The ranking marks Sentry's first appearance among the top 600 companies on the Fortune 1000. In 2025, Sentry was ranked No. 614.
