Summary
Chubb delivered a strong Q2, with core operating EPS of $7.26 beating expectations and rising 18.2% year-over-year. Underwriting profitability improved markedly—the P&C combined ratio fell to 83.8% from 87.2% a year ago, driven by lower catastrophe losses and favorable prior-year development. Premium growth was solid at 3.6% overall, with Overseas General up 10.2% and Life Insurance up 7.5%, though North America Commercial dipped 2.3% due to deliberate underwriting actions in large accounts. Record net investment income of $1.76 billion, up 12.3%, added further support. The insurer posted higher second-quarter profit on strong underwriting business. This follows a strong Q1 and continues the trend of robust underwriting and investment results.
