Chubb Limited Common Stock (CB) fair value

ACCE thesis

Chubb writes commercial and personal property and casualty insurance, plus accident and health and specialty lines such as D&O, cyber, and marine, sold through brokers and agents across more than 50 countries. Its moat is underwriting discipline and a global distribution footprint that few peers can match, which shows up in a 23.5% operating margin and a 14.8% ROE. Revenue grew 6.1% in the latest reported period, and with the business compounding through pricing and premium growth in commercial lines, that rate is the one to test against the cycle. At 12.4x trailing earnings and 12.1x forward, the stock is priced below what its margins and returns would normally earn in a broader market. The score of 61/100 and the lack of index membership mean the screen sees a solid but unremarkable profile, so the question for us is whether the underwriting record holds up through a softening pricing cycle.
