Movement Alert|Chubb Falls 3.02% in Regular Trading, Property Insurance Sector Under Broad Pressure as Q2 Revenue Misses Estimates

Market Focus07-30

On July 30, Chubb declined 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $349.11/share, with turnover of $133 million. The Property & Casualty Insurance sector came under broad selling pressure, with Markel down 5.85%, Travelers down 4.38%, Allstate down 4.04%, and Progressive down 3.86%.

The sector-wide weakness comes as investor focus remains on Chubb's mixed Q2 results reported earlier. While core operating EPS of $7.26 beat the consensus estimate of $6.75 by 7.6%, representing an 18.2% year-over-year increase, net premiums written of $14.71 billion fell short of the $15.07 billion analyst expectation. Revenue of $12.77 billion also missed the $12.99 billion estimate. UBS noted that the weaker net premiums written was partly due to Chubb deliberately shrinking exposure to large commercial accounts and Excess & Surplus property insurance. Analysts remain broadly constructive, with multiple firms raising price targets post-earnings, including Raymond James to $425 and Goldman Sachs to $386.
