CB 10-K Analysis: Dual-Engine Earnings at 12x P/E — The Reserve Catch
Chubb Limited reported a record 81.2% combined ratio in FY 2025 — the best in its history. But inside the 10-K, North America Commercial now earns more from investing premiums ($3,840M in NII) than from underwriting them ($3,783M). At 12x trailing P/E with 24.2% ROTCE, the dual-engine compounder looks mispriced — until you aggregate $2.5 billion in reserve sensitivity buried across three actuarial disclosures. The world's largest P&C insurer has quietly become an investment company, and the market is still pricing it as a cyclical underwriter.
