On July 22, Chubb declined 3.25% in regular trading, trading at approximately $342.02/share, with turnover of $181 million. The stock came under selling pressure following its Q2 earnings release on July 21 after market close.
Chubb reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $7.26, up 18.24% year-over-year, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $6.75. However, revenue came in at $12.768 billion, missing the $12.987 billion estimate. Net premiums written totaled $14.71 billion, also falling short of analyst expectations of $15.07 billion. The shortfall in premium income growth raised market concerns about the company's underwriting momentum, outweighing the strong bottom-line performance.
Notably, multiple analysts have recently adjusted price targets upward ahead of earnings, with the mean target at $367.22. Deutsche Bank raised its target to $354 from $330 maintaining Hold, while JPMorgan lifted its target to $374 from $340 maintaining Neutral. The stock currently trades below most analyst targets, suggesting the market is repricing near-term growth expectations in the underwriting segment.
