Jul 01

On July 1, Chubb rose 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $350.575/share, with turnover of $132 million. Multiple catalysts converged to drive the stock higher toward its 52-week high.

On the news front, Goldman Sachs significantly raised its price target on Chubb from $362 to $386 while maintaining a Buy rating, representing one of the highest targets on Wall Street. The mean analyst price target stands at $349.26 according to FactSet, with a consensus overweight rating. Simultaneously, the company's previously approved $7.5 billion share repurchase program officially took effect on July 1, with no expiration date, replacing the prior program that expired on June 30.

The dual catalysts build on a strong fundamental backdrop. Chubb reported Q1 core operating EPS of $6.82, beating the consensus estimate of $6.60 by 3.33%, while net premiums written grew to $14.01 billion from $12.65 billion a year earlier. Additionally, shareholders approved a 5.2% annual dividend increase to $4.08 per share, marking the 33rd consecutive year of dividend growth.
