Chubb appears to be a high-quality insurance business with strong profitability and a moderate earnings valuation, but with a noticeable premium to book value. A P/E of 12 and a P/FCF of around 9 look comfortable and even below industry benchmarks, which supports the valuation; however, a P/B of 1.67 is about 36% above the industry median, so the market is already pricing in high capital quality and business resilience. ROE of 14.05%, ROA of 4.07%, and ROI of 11.67% are significantly above industry levels, and return on tangible equity of 21.08% confirms strong capital efficiency. At the same time, profitability trends over recent periods are generally positive: net profit margin and operating margin remain high and show no signs of deterioration. Revenue, operating income, and net income are generally growing on a year-over-year basis, indicating that operational momentum has been maintained and supporting a fair valuation. The balance sheet looks large and stable: assets, equity, and the earnings base are growing, and leverage as measured by debt/equity looks low, although the current and quick ratios are formally weak. For an insurance company this is not as critical as it would be for an industrial business, but the low quick ratio and current ratio still warrant caution. The dividend yield of around 0.30% is low and declined over the year, so the dividend factor adds little to the investment case. Gross margin is below the industry median, which partly explains why the premium to book value should not expand too aggressively. Overall, the fundamentals rather support the current forecast but do not justify a meaningful increase: the business quality is high, but part of its strengths is already reflected in the price. Therefore, only a moderate conservative downward adjustment is appropriate, taking into account the premium P/B and weak liquidity while preserving the strong profitability profile.

Chubb (CB) Outpaces Stock Market Gains: What You Should Know

Shares of Chubb Limited CB are trading at a premium compared with the industry. Its trailing 12-month price-to-book value of 1.62X is higher than the industry average of 1.43X. However, it currently carries a Value Score of B.
The premium valuation reflects investors' confidence in Chubb's strong profitability, underwriting discipline and growth prospects. However, the higher multiple raises the question of whether the company's fundamentals are strong enough to justify the premium.

Shares of some of its peers, like The Travelers Companies, Inc. TRV, W.R. Berkley Corporation WRB and The Progressive Corporation PGR, are trading at a multiple higher than the industry average.
CB’s Strong Return on Equity
Return on equity (ROE) for the trailing 12 months was 14.5%, significantly above the industry's 7.5%. Core operating return on tangible equity was 21.2% in the second quarter of 2026. Moreover, ROE has remained around 14% over the past three and five years, reflecting the company's consistent ability to generate returns from shareholders' funds.
CB Is an Outperformer
Chubb shares have gained 21.3% in the past year, outperforming the industry’s growth of 0.8%.
Shares of other insurers, including TRV, have gained 31.1%, while PGR and WRB have lost 11.1% and 6.5%, respectively, in the past year.

CB’s Growth Projection Encourages
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Chubb’s 2026 earnings per share (EPS) indicates a year-over-year increase of 10.3%. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $64.34 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 7.3%.
The consensus estimate for 2027 EPS and revenues indicates an increase of 5.6% and 4.1%, respectively, from the corresponding 2026 estimates. The expected long-term earnings growth is pegged at 7.7%.
Optimist Analyst Sentiment on CB
The company has witnessed 13 upward earnings estimate revisions for 2026 over the past 60 days, against no movement in the opposite direction. For 2027, it has witnessed five upward revisions against one downward movement. Thus, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 earnings have moved up 2.7% and 0.2%, respectively, over the same time frame.

Factors That Benefit CB Stock
Chubb's underwriting operations remain a major earnings driver. The company prioritizes profitability over premium growth by exiting inadequately priced business, particularly in large-account property insurance. P&C underwriting income increased 18.8% year over year to $1.94 billion in the second quarter of 2026, while the combined ratio improved to 83.8% from 85.6% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting strong underwriting profitability.
Chubb continues to benefit from broad-based premium growth across its businesses, supported by strong performance in its middle-market and international commercial businesses. Middle-market and small commercial premiums increased 8.9% in the second quarter, while overseas commercial insurance premiums rose 8.8%.
CB pursues strategic mergers and acquisitions to diversify its portfolio, add capabilities and synergies, and expand its geographic footprint. Acquisitions, including Catalyst Aviation Insurance and Liberty Mutual's operations in Thailand and Vietnam, have strengthened its product offerings, distribution network and presence in key international markets. Continued investments in AI, digital capabilities and distribution, along with strong broker relationships, are driving new business growth and improve renewal rates.
Higher investment income, supported by the company's fixed-income and alternative asset portfolios, provides an additional source of earnings growth alongside underwriting operations. Adjusted net investment income reached a record $1.88 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 11.4% year over year.
Chubb's strong cash generation supports shareholder returns and continued capital deployment. The company returned $1.37 billion to shareholders in the second quarter of 2026 through dividends and share repurchases, bringing total capital returned in the first six months to $2.90 billion.
Chubb continues to generate strong growth in book value. As of 30 June 2026, tangible book value per share rose 17.1% to $131.93. The continued growth in book value and tangible book value reflects the company's strong earnings generation and supports the case for its valuation.
Risks for CB
Chubb remains exposed to catastrophe losses from hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and other severe events, which induce volatility in underwriting profitability and affect the combined ratio. Pretax catastrophe losses totaled $475 million in the second quarter of 2026.
Softening commercial insurance pricing remains a headwind for Chubb, as continued rate declines could weigh on premium growth and profitability.
Conclusion
Chubb is positioned to deliver continued earnings and book-value growth through strong underwriting profitability, middle-market and overseas commercial expansion, higher investment income and disciplined capital management. Favorable estimates, optimistic analyst sentiment and higher ROE are other positives. A VGM Score of A instils confidence.
While the premium valuation appears justified by Chubb's profitability and growth profile, continued earnings growth and underwriting discipline will be important to sustain the higher multiple. Catastrophe losses and softer commercial pricing remain risks. It is wise to retain this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

CB Stock Trades at 1.62x Book Value: Is the Valuation Worth It?

Key Points
Major insurance companies, including Progressive, Chubb, and Prudential, are buying back large amounts of their own stock.
P&C insurance companies have performed well over the past few years, but the industry outlook is softening.
Buying back stock could help P&C insurance companies offset weak pricing conditions.
In the first half of 2026, Progressive (NYSE: PGR) bought back roughly $1 billion worth of its own stock. Chubb (NYSE: CB) bought back $1.37 billion in shares in the second quarter alone (bringing its first-half repurchases to $2.12 billion). Those numbers make Prudential's (NYSE: PRU) $250 million in second-quarter share repurchases sound like chump change, even though that's still a massive amount of cash to devote to a stock buyback.
Stock buybacks are often pitched as a way to return value to shareholders, and they are. However, there's another issue to consider here that may be just as important: Property and casualty insurance pricing is softening.

What does a buyback do?
When a company buys back its own stock, the number of shares in the market decreases. That sounds simple, but it's worth putting some numbers on this with a simple example. If a company has 100 shares and buys back 10, then there are only 90 shares left for investors to trade.
That has a significant impact on any financial measures based on shares. For example, if the company earns $100 and it has 100 shares, then earning per share are $1. If that share count falls to 90 and it still earns $100, then earnings per share improves 11% to $1.11. That said, if earnings fall, stock buybacks remain beneficial. An earnings drop to $90, along with that 10 share buyback, would keep earnings per share at $1.
But there's an important middle ground. If earnings only dropped to $95, the 10-share buyback would leave the company with earnings per share of roughly $1.05. In other words, a moderate drop in earnings could still lead to higher earnings per share, with the reduction in the share count effectively offsetting the impact of a weakening business environment. Now it's time to start looking at the insurers and their stock buybacks.
The P&C insurance market is getting more competitive
In a recent industry report, Marsh estimated that global insurance rates fell 6% in the second quarter. That said, casualty rates were estimated to have increased by 2%, while property rates dropped by a fairly sizable 12%. Property is typically a major line of business for most public P&C insurance companies.
What's going on, according to Marsh, is that after several strong years, companies are competing more aggressively, including on price. That's a fairly typical cycle in the insurance industry. Absent any large weather events or other disasters, pricing power is likely to remain under pressure.
To give a specific example, Progressive's combined ratio increased to 86.8% in July, up 1.5 percentage points from a year ago. A combined ratio is a measure of profitability, comparing an insurance company's costs (operating costs and claims) to the premiums it collects. A number below 100% indicates a company is making a profit. So the 1.5 percentage-point increase indicates that Progressive's profitability is weakening.
Chubb's second-quarter results show that its combined ratio remained flat year over year at 81.9%. However, if property and casualty pricing is getting more competitive, buying back stock could help protect earnings from any potential business weakness in the future. So it probably isn't shocking that two insurers bought back huge amounts of stock in the first half of 2026.
Notably, Prudential's buyback was much smaller. Prudential primarily sells life insurance, and its business continues to perform very well, buoyed by an asset management business benefiting from a strong stock market. You could argue that it simply doesn't have the same need to buy back shares as a property and casualty insurer like Chubb and Progressive.
Chubb and Progressive are likely protecting earnings growth
Buying back shares is a way to return cash to shareholders without creating an ongoing obligation, unlike a dividend increase. So Chubb and Progressive are acting in a shareholder-friendly manner. However, the large stock buybacks will also help support earnings as the property and casualty sector gets more competitive, so there's more to the story here. And life insurance-focused Prudential's smaller buyback could be the example that shows what's really going on in the property and casualty insurance space.

Insurers Are Buying Back More Stock as Pricing Softens

Chubb Limited CB is benefiting from strong commercial insurance growth in its middle-market and international businesses, helping offset pressure in large-account property.
Chubb’s P&C net premiums written increased 3% year over year to $12.8 billion in the second quarter. Excluding large-account and E&S property, P&C premiums grew 6.3%, highlighting stronger underlying growth.
Within North America Commercial P&C, middle-market and small commercial business remained a key growth driver. In the second quarter of 2026, net premiums written in this business increased 8.9% year over year to $2.3 billion. Its agency reach, product breadth and technology-enabled access to smaller distributors create a structural advantage in an underpenetrated market. In contrast, net premiums written in major accounts and specialty declined 9%, primarily due to underwriting actions in property. Excluding large-account and E&S property, this business increased 0.4%
Chubb’s strategy of reducing exposure to less attractive property risks while expanding in middle-market and small commercial business could support more sustainable growth. The insurer’s diversified portfolio also provides an advantage as pricing conditions moderate across parts of the commercial market. In the second quarter of 2026, overseas commercial P&C premiums rose 8.8%.
CB’s P&C underwriting income rose 18.8%, and the combined ratio improved to 83.8% in the second quarter. Strong underwriting performance continues to support earnings.
Chubb continues to invest in middle-market and small commercial businesses through broader distribution, industry-specific underwriting, digital capabilities and localized service. Its strong middle-market and overseas commercial growth, combined with disciplined underwriting, should help it navigate softer market conditions while maintaining profitable growth.
What About Its Peers?
W.R. Berkley Corporation WRB continues to benefit from its strong presence in commercial and specialty insurance. In the second quarter of 2026, pre-tax underwriting income increased 21.8% to $317.5 million, and the reported combined ratio improved to 90%. WRB is focusing on disciplined underwriting and selective growth as competition increases across parts of the commercial market.
Travelers Companies TRV is also benefiting from continued demand across its commercial businesses, particularly in the middle-market segment. Strong new business activity and disciplined pricing are supporting growth, while its diversified commercial portfolio provides resilience as insurance pricing moderates.

Chubb's Middle-Market, Overseas Operations Boost Commercial Growth

RLI Corp.’s RLI increase in net investment income (NII) appears reasonably sustainable in the near term, although the current growth rate is unlikely to persist indefinitely. In the second quarter of 2026, NII increased 16.8% to $46 million, while first-half NII rose 16% to $88.4 million.
The growth in NII has a fundamental basis rather than being driven purely by investment gains. RLI benefited from higher reinvestment rates and a larger average asset base. Its taxable fixed-income portfolio yield increased to 4.4% from 4.06%, while tax-exempt yields rose to 3.04% from 2.95%.
NII should continue to benefit from RLI's ability to reinvest operating cash flows into fixed-income securities. In the second quarter of 2026, operating cash flow of $145 million supported investment purchases carrying average yields of 4.9%, creating an opportunity to generate additional investment income over time. Investments and cash totaled approximately $4.9 billion as of June 30, 2026, providing a substantial asset base for recurring NII generation. Moreover, as older securities mature, RLI can reinvest proceeds into newer securities, although the benefit will depend on prevailing interest rates.
Even if interest rates decline, RLI could continue growing NII through portfolio expansion and strong underwriting-generated cash flows. The existing investment portfolio provides some protection against an immediate decline in NII because securities already held continue to generate contractual income. However, over time, lower rates would reduce the yields available on new investments, making asset growth increasingly important to offset reinvestment-rate pressure.
RLI's NII growth appears fundamentally supported by its sizable investment portfolio, strong operating cash generation and attractive reinvestment opportunities. While the 16-17% growth rate is unlikely to be sustained indefinitely, NII should remain a meaningful and increasingly important contributor to earnings, with future growth likely driven more by portfolio expansion and underwriting cash flows than by higher investment yields.
What About Other Insurers?
Chubb Limited's CB net investment income is an important earnings contributor. The metric benefits from higher interest rates and stronger portfolio yields, providing a steady source of earnings beyond underwriting profits. This helps improve profitability, offset claim volatility and strengthen overall financial performance.
The Travelers Companies, Inc.’s TRV net investment income is a material contributor to the company’s results of operations, consistently providing a reliable source of earnings that complements its underwriting activities. Net investment income acts as a second earnings engine for this property and casualty insurer after underwriting profit. Thus, even if underwriting profit weakens because of higher catastrophe losses, solid net investment income can help offset earnings pressure.
RLI’s Price Performance
Shares of RLI have lost 5% in the past year against the industry’s growth of 2.5%.
RLI’s Expensive Valuation
The stock is overvalued compared with its industry. It is currently trading at a price-to-book ratio of 3.36, above the industry average of 1.43.
Estimate Movement for RLI
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RLI’s third quarter of 2026 has moved down 1.8% in the past 30 days. The estimate for RLI’s fourth quarter of 2026 has moved up 1.5% in the past 30 days. The same for the full-year 2026 and 2027 EPS has moved up 1% and 0.7%, respectively, in the past 30 days.
The consensus estimate for RLI’s 2026 and 2027 revenues indicates year-over-year increases.

Shares of Berkshire Hathaway have gained 5.1% in the past three months, underperforming the industry’s 6.7% increase and the Finance sector’s rise of 7.5%. The stock has, however, outperformed the Zacks S&P 500 composite’s rise of 1.1% in the same time frame.
BRK.B vs Industry, Sector, S&P 500 in 3-Months
BRK.B’s peer Chubb Limited has gained 6.1% in the past three months, while another peer, Progressive Corporation, has gained 12.1% in the same time frame.
The Case for BRK.B Stock
Berkshire Hathaway’s insurance operations remain the backbone of its business, contributing nearly a quarter of total revenues and supporting long-term value creation. Disciplined underwriting, broad market reach and consistent profitability strengthen the segment, while its sizable insurance float provides low-cost capital for investments across Berkshire’s portfolio.
The company continues to reposition its equity holdings to improve income stability, diversification and growth potential. Berkshire recently acquired roughly 48.1 million Alphabet shares, signaling greater openness to large technology companies and their long-term growth prospects. It has also increased investments in Japanese trading houses, housing-related businesses and airlines while trimming its exposure to payment companies.
Berkshire’s operating subsidiaries provide additional earnings stability. Berkshire Hathaway Energy generates predictable cash flows from regulated utility operations and continues to expand its renewable-energy capacity, positioning it to benefit from electrification, decarbonization and the shift toward cleaner energy.
BNSF Railway remains another valuable asset. Its extensive freight network and exposure to essential transportation demand provide a durable competitive advantage. However, softer freight volumes and lower fuel-surcharge revenues could weigh on near-term performance.
The Manufacturing, Service and Retail businesses further diversify earnings. Although these operations are more sensitive to economic conditions, they offer meaningful upside when stronger demand lifts revenues and margins.
Berkshire’s financial strength remains exceptional. As of June 30, 2026, its insurance and other businesses held $359.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury bills, net of unsettled purchase payables. Insurance float reached $177.5 billion, providing substantial capacity to fund investments and compound shareholder value.
Yet, insurance results remain exposed to catastrophe losses and rising claim frequency and severity. Lower short-term rates are reducing insurance investment income, while BNSF and BHE require substantial capital spending.
Return on equity (ROE) in the trailing 12 months was 6.6%, underperforming the industry average of 7.4%. Return on equity, a key profitability measure, reflects how effectively a company utilizes its shareholders’ funds.
The same holds true for return on invested capital (ROIC). ROIC, reflecting efficiency in utilizing funds to generate income, was 5.4% in the trailing 12 months, lower than the industry average of 5.7%.
Optimistic Analyst Sentiment on BRK.B
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 revenues indicates a 5.6% year-over-year increase, while the same for earnings implies a 5.1% year-over-year increase. The consensus estimate for 2027 revenues and EPS indicates a 4.5% and 1.9% year-over-year increase, respectively.
The expected long-term earnings growth is pegged at 12%, better than the industry average of 7.9%.
The consensus estimate for 2026 and 2027 earnings has moved 3.8% and 2% north, respectively, in the past 30 days.

The consensus estimate for Chubb’s 2026 earnings has moved north, but that for 2027 has moved south in the past 30 days.
Estimates for Progressive’s 2026 earnings have moved north but those for 2027 have moved south in the same time frame.
Parting Thoughts on BRK.B Shares
Berkshire Hathaway has anchored investor portfolios for decades, delivering consistent shareholder value under Warren Buffett’s nearly six decades of leadership. Investor attention now turns to its next chapter, with Greg Abel serving as CEO and Buffett continuing as executive chairman.
Favorable analyst sentiment and healthy growth prospects support confidence in the company’s outlook. However, a stretched valuation, recent share-price performance and weak returns on capital warrant caution. Investors may therefore prefer to remain on the sidelines with this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock for now.

Berkshire Lags Industry, Trades at a Premium: How to Play the Stock

Everest Group, Ltd. EG appears capable of sustaining underwriting profitability despite slower premium growth, supported by disciplined portfolio management, selective risk-taking and an improving business mix. In the second quarter of 2026, Everest’s core businesses generated $317 million of underwriting income and a 90% combined ratio, even as gross written premiums declined 7.1% year over year. This performance suggests management is willing to sacrifice volume when pricing or terms do not meet required return thresholds.
Underwriting discipline remains the key support. In Treaty Reinsurance, Everest reduced premiums by 9.1%, including a 19% reduction in casualty, while maintaining an 88.5% combined ratio. The decline in premiums alongside strong underwriting margins indicates that Everest is prioritizing risk-adjusted profitability over top-line growth. Management has been selectively reducing or exiting business that does not meet return requirements while reallocating capacity toward specialty areas such as data centers, construction and renewable energy, where risk-adjusted returns remain more attractive.
Everest’s margin strength is therefore shifting from favorable pricing toward underwriting discipline, portfolio optimization and business-mix improvement. Sustained underwriting profitability despite lower premiums would indicate that portfolio restructuring is producing a more profitable and capital-efficient book of business. If management continues to reduce underpriced casualty and property exposures and redeploy capacity toward higher-return specialty and international opportunities, improving underwriting margins could partially offset slower premium growth.
Overall, Everest’s strategy is increasingly focused on risk-adjusted profitability rather than premium growth. The principal risks include further deterioration in reinsurance pricing, elevated catastrophe losses and adverse casualty reserve development.
What About Its Peers?
Chubb Limited’s CB profitable underwriting directly increases its earnings. Chubb Limited benefits from both underwriting income and investment income. Consistent underwriting profits increase the amount of capital Chubb Limited can retain within the business. This supports balance-sheet strength, business expansion and investments in technology, data and AI.
RLI Corp.’s RLI decentralized underwriting model supports strong underwriting profitability by giving individual business units significant autonomy to assess risks, price policies and select accounts based on specialized expertise. Underwriting profit is a core earnings driver and competitive advantage for RLI because it allows the company to generate profits directly from its insurance operations, rather than relying primarily on investment income.

Can Everest Sustain Underwriting Profitability Amid Soft Pricing?

In the U.S. insurance industry, rate increases have substantially improved insurer profitability, particularly in personal auto, homeowners, and commercial P&C over the years. But now the U.S. insurance industry is transitioning from a rate-driven growth environment to an execution-driven one as it moves from the hard-market phase toward a more competitive environment.
In commercial insurance, pricing increased just 2.5% year over year in the first quarter of 2026, down from 5.3% a year earlier, marking the third consecutive quarter of moderating increases. Swiss Re expects U.S. P&C premium growth to slow to about 3% in 2026 as attractive margins draw additional capacity into the market.
With pricing power weakening, insurers with superior risk selection, claims management and expense control should outperform competitors. Increased competition is already pushing auto premiums lower. After years of relentless rate increases, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the Consumer Price Index for motor vehicle insurance fell 4.5% from July 2025 to July 2026.
Strong insurer balance sheets, stabilized reinsurance pricing and increased underwriting appetite are creating new opportunities for many organizations to improve coverage terms while managing insurance costs. According to Alera Group, average overall commercial insurance premium growth was flat in the first half of 2026, reflecting the softest market conditions seen since 2017.
As the U.S. insurance pricing cycle moderates, premium growth increasingly depends on underlying business growth rather than on rate increases. The quality of growth increasingly depends on an insurer's ability to generate organic new business, retain customers, benefit from exposure growth and capture market share, while maintaining underwriting discipline.
Here's how these factors will benefit insurers. Winning new customers adds policies and premiums even when insurers cannot rely on higher rates. Growth in payrolls, property values, vehicle counts, business activity, construction and other economic exposures can increase insured values and therefore premiums, even with stable pricing. High retention also reduces the need to continually replace lost customers through costly new-business acquisition.
Insurers can grow faster than the overall market by taking business from competitors. This can come from stronger underwriting capabilities, broader product offerings, better service, geographic expansion or more effective distribution.
These factors in combination allow insurers to sustain premium and revenue growth despite softer pricing.
For insurance stocks such as The Travelers Companies, Inc. TRV, Chubb Limited CB and W.R. Berkley Corporation WRB, strong underwriting discipline and specialty exposure can help protect profitability as the pricing cycle softens.
The insurance industry has returned 3.2% in the past year compared with the Finance sector’s growth of 11.5% and the Zacks S&P 500 composite’s appreciation of 20.8%.
