Adam Klauber has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors impacting Chubb’s future earnings potential. Despite Chubb’s better-than-expected earnings per share in the second quarter of 2025, driven by strong performance in North America commercial and overseas lines, the outlook for earnings growth appears muted. The company’s underwriting results, which have been at peak levels, are starting to decline, and this trend is expected to continue due to weakening property prices and a challenging legal environment in casualty lines.
Additionally, while investment income has been a significant contributor to recent earnings, its growth is expected to moderate as interest rates stabilize. This combination of factors suggests that maintaining the current earnings levels will be challenging, leading to a likely flattening of earnings per share over the coming years. Consequently, Klauber maintains an Underperform rating, indicating a less favorable outlook for Chubb’s stock performance.

According to TipRanks, Klauber is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 6.5% and a 48.44% success rate. Klauber covers the Financial sector, focusing on stocks such as Progressive, Allstate, and Aon.

In another report released on July 22, Bank of America Securities also reiterated a Sell rating on the stock with a $276.00 price target.
