Chubb Ltd
Increase: CEO, Commitment to Own the Name in the Year Ahead
Static: Transparency/Disclosure, Board of Directors, CFO, Balance Sheet
Decrease: Long Term Growth, Short Term Growth, Strategy, Senior Management, Momentum of Investor Confidence
“Chubb’s exposure, particularly in high-risk areas like California, is a long-term concern for us. The company is potentially facing significant reputational damage, especially if events like the California wildfires continue to highlight their concentrated risk. It seems like a calculated gamble on their part, but it’s hard to see how this strategy will make sense in the long run. For now, we are not optimistic about Chubb’s long-term prospects.”
“Chubb just hit a wall with the LA fires. Although Chubb holds about 3% of the California homeowners market, its focus is on high-net-worth clients in areas like the Palisades. Chubb will experience disproportionately higher losses compared to their peers. Their clients often have multi-million-dollar homes and more complex insurance needs, such as for cars, art, and jewelry.”
AXA SA
Increase: Commitment to Own the Name in the Year Ahead, Transparency/Disclosure, CFO, Long Term Growth, Short Term Growth
Static: Price Appreciation Potential, Strategy, CEO, Board of Directors,
Decrease: Momentum of Investor Confidence, Senior Management, Balance Sheet
“AXA relies on a minimal low-risk strategy, resulting in steady but accelerated earnings growth.”
“When AXA acquired XL, investors were extremely unhappy. Since then, they have been very disciplined with M&A and returned a lot of capital.”
American Express Co
Increase: Strategy, CFO, Short Term Growth, Momentum of Investor Confidence, Senior Management, Commitment to Own the Name in the Year Ahead, Price Appreciation Potential
Static: Long Term Growth, Transparency/Disclosure, Board of Directors, Balance Sheet
Decrease: CEO
“American Express is such a high-quality company.”
“In Q3, American Express reset their 2025 earnings and revenue growth expectations to just below double digits. American Express appears well-positioned, with strong short-term growth prospects. American Express is both a quality and growth company.”
