Factors Likely to Shape Q2 Results
Premiums in the second quarter are likely to have benefited from growth across most product lines, driven by strong premium retention, including rate and exposure increases, and strong new business.
The high net-worth personal lines business is likely to have benefited from strong new business and retention, including positive rates and exposure increases across all lines.
Premiums at International Life Insurance are expected to have gained from strong new business in North Asia, notably in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea through broker distribution channels.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net premiums earned is pegged at $13.1 billion, indicating an increase of 6.7% from the year-ago reported figure. We expect net premiums earned to be $13.1 billion.
Net investment income is likely to have benefited from higher average invested assets and higher reinvestment rates on fixed maturities. Chubb expects the quarterly adjusted net investment income to be at the midpoint of our previously guided six-month guidance. We expect net investment income to be $1.9 billion in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.8 billion.
Better pricing and increased exposure, coupled with prudent underwriting, are expected to have aided underwriting profitability, which is expected to have led to an improvement in the combined ratio. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the combined ratio is pegged at 85%, an improvement of 200 basis points.
Expenses are expected to have increased because of higher losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, administrative expenses and interest expenses. We estimate the metric to be $10.3 billion.
Nevertheless, share buybacks in the to-be-reported quarter are likely to have aided the bottom line.
