Overview

Chubb posted a standout second quarter, with core operating earnings of $2.8 billion, or $7.26 per share, an 18.2% increase over the prior year and a meaningful beat against the $6.77 consensus estimate. The headline numbers were underpinned by three mutually reinforcing engines: P&C underwriting income of more than $1.9 billion (up nearly 19%, combined ratio of 83.8%), record adjusted net investment income of $1.88 billion (up 11%), and life income of $332 million (up 9%). Tangible book value per share grew 17.1% year-over-year, which CEO Evan Greenberg consistently frames as the most important measure of shareholder wealth creation. The quarter extends a pattern of consistent outperformance, and the balance sheet is in demonstrably strong shape, invested assets now stand at $175 billion, up from $161 billion a year ago, and book value reached an all-time high of $75 billion.
