Chubb price target raised to $279 from $276 at BofA

BofA raised the firm’s price target on Chubb (CB) to $279 from $276 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares. The firm is updating its price targets for U.S. Insurance companies under its coverage, the analyst tells investors. Q3 turned out to be a “relatively calm” season without any hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. and, while 1H saw elevated levels of macro uncertainties, this did not translate to material adverse impact on earnings, the firm says.
