Chubb Limited (CB-N) has received mixed reviews from various experts. The company is recognized for its strong performance, particularly in underwriting, maintaining the lowest combined ratio in the sector while experiencing pricing pressures. Some analysts appreciate its defensive nature, citing robust client servicing and a well-structured portfolio of investment-grade bonds. However, concerns linger over the impact of increasing catastrophic events and aggressive pricing cycles due to inflation. Overall, while many maintain a positive outlook on its long-term potential and recommend adding to positions during price dips, caution is advised about its current market position amid fluctuating interest rates.

TOP PICK
Their P&C insurance business has strengthened with good volumes. Their combined ratio has fallen (good); underwriting is covering costs, so their investments are all gravy. Their investment business faces a positive: rising interest rates. It trades at 1.3x book which is decent. They specialize in private/commercial property & casualty insurance. (Analysts’ price target is $197.21)

BUY
They're experts in spreading risk, ensuring they have enough capital to cover payouts on losses. Their combined ratio under 100 means they're profitable in their underwriting (pre-investments) though Chubb is profitable in investments, too. CB is in a good position. We're in a new cycle that allows price increases in the property casualty insurance business. He's happy to own this.

Two-thirds of their business is in North America. They have pricing power now (at times in a cycle insurers don't). CB's combined ratio is very strong. It trades at 1.3x book, reasonable for an insurer, and at 15x earnings. He's done well holding this for a while. (Analysts’ price target is $180.59)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 07/20, Up 4%) Insurance companies have increased prices to cover catastrophic losses. An example of inflation. Book value's been growing. Combined ratio is back to 89-90% range. Still a buy.

BUY
Premiums have been invested in fixed income, so profitability has gone down. Relative to the equity markets, fixed income is less volatile, and so their float is safer than some of its peers. For business interruptions and any big payouts, premiums will increase going forward. Long-term, with eventually higher interest rates, profitability will increase. A good company.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 02/19, Down 16%) Insurance is facing catastrophe because of COVID, though governments will not let the insurers go bankrupt. Insurers will probably cope by raising prices. Chubb has the highest credit rating and its combined ratio is 100%, despite the economic downturn. Chubb's book value continues to grow, though the stock is down 19% YTD. He'd buy on weakness. The 2.5% dividend pays you to wait.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 26/19, Down 6%) Continues to like it. Has pricing power, which tends to be cyclical. Combined ratio of less than 100%, which is good. Growing well, about 10% off 2019 levels. Stable.

BUY
P&C is a great space. KIE is a US insurance ETF and is hitting new highs, consolidating since June. Chubb is strong in P&C. Allstate is also good. He owns both.

TOP PICK
Earnings were a blow out announced yesterday. Since there were little catastrophes last year, profits boomed. The book value is rising. It's the best insurance company based on combined ratio, how much you're paying in claims versus premiums, which is at 98%. (Analysts’ price target is $165.17)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 12/18, Up 25%) They've been able to raise prices in the last year. They are a high quality re-insurer. The opioid crisis is the only concern. It's still a buy and he continues to buy it.
