Chubb stock traded at EUR 329.65 on Lang & Schwarz at 2:16 p.m. CET on Friday, October 30, 2026. That was 2.20% above the EUR 322.55 quote in the previous AD HOC NEWS report published on October 23. The comparison reflects the new market indication, not the Xetra session performance.

Record earnings meet catastrophe pressure

Chubb reported the third-quarter figures on October 20, 2026, according to its company release. Net income reached USD 2.84 billion, while core operating income was USD 2.98 billion. For the first nine months, core operating income rose 21.0% to a record USD 8.60 billion, and core operating earnings per share increased 24.5% to USD 21.94.

The quarterly result contained a mixed underwriting signal. Property and casualty underwriting income was USD 2.06 billion, with an 84.1% combined ratio. Excluding catastrophe losses, the current accident year combined ratio was 82.6%, indicating continued underlying underwriting profitability.

Commercial lines remain the pressure point

Pre-tax catastrophe losses increased to USD 705 million from USD 285 million a year earlier. North America Commercial net premiums written fell 2.7% to USD 5.51 billion, while the segment's combined ratio rose to 86.3% from 81.5%. Chubb said it was reducing exposure where pricing or policy terms were inadequate.

Other parts of the portfolio expanded. North America Personal premiums grew 5.3%, Overseas General increased 6.7%, and Life Insurance premiums rose 1.4%. Pre-tax net investment income also reached a record USD 1.79 billion, up 8.6% year over year.

What the stock move means

The latest quote clears the second-edition threshold against the prior report and gives investors a fresh market reference. The operating picture remains balanced: record nine-month profitability and strong underlying underwriting offset a more difficult catastrophe environment and selective commercial retrenchment.
