Chubb Trades at Just 12 Times Earnings, Well Below the Broader Market. Is One of the World's Biggest Insurers a Bargain?
Yahoo Finance ·
Chubb ( CB +2.46% ) , the world's largest publicly traded provider of property, supplemental health, and casualty insurance, is a reliable blue chip stock. It's based in Switzerland, and it does business across 54 countries and territories. The current version of the company was created in 2016 after ACE Limited acquired the original Chubb and inherited its brand. Chubb's stock has rallied 172% over the past ten years. With reinvested dividends, it delivered a total return of 226%. But at $352, it trades at just 12 times trailing earnings, compared to the S&P 500's historically high multiple of 32. It also pays a forward yield of 1.2%. So is it an undervalued, defensive stock to buy today? From 2016 to 2025, Chubb's revenue and EPS grew at CAGRs of 7% and 13%, respectively. That growth was initially driven by ACE's takeover of Chubb, which instantly made it a powerhouse in the property and casualty insurance market . Chubb dominated the high-net-worth insurance market in the U.S., expanded in Asia, replaced its legacy systems with newer technology platforms, and reduced its exposure to weaker businesses rather than taking on bad risk. Its fixed-income portfolio also benefited from higher interest rates.
AI 시장 분석
Chubb, the world's largest publicly traded property and casualty insurer, has demonstrated robust growth with a 172% share price increase over the last decade. Currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12x, it is significantly undervalued compared to the S&P 500's 32x. Investors can expect stable dividend income and improved bond portfolio profitability during this high-interest rate environment.
