Chubb’s (NYSE:CB) stock is up by 9.0% over the past three months. Given its impressive performance, we decided to study the company’s key financial indicators as a company’s long-term fundamentals usually dictate market outcomes. Specifically, we decided to study Chubb’s <\/a> ROE in this article.<\/p>\n

ROE or return on equity is a useful tool to assess how effectively a company can generate returns on the investment it received from its shareholders. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.<\/p>\n

We’ve found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.<\/a><\/p>\n

ROE can be calculated by using the formula:<\/p>\n

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) \u00f7 Shareholders’ Equity<\/p>\n

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Chubb is:<\/p>\n

13% = US$10b \u00f7 US$78b (Based on the trailing twelve months to September 2025).<\/p>\n

The ‘return’ is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. One way to conceptualize this is that for each $1 of shareholders’ capital it has, the company made $0.13 in profit.<\/p>\n

Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. Depending on how much of these profits the company reinvests or “retains”, and how effectively it does so, we are then able to assess a company\u2019s earnings growth potential. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don’t necessarily bear these characteristics.<\/p>\n

To begin with, Chubb seems to have a respectable ROE. Even when compared to the industry average of 13% the company’s ROE looks quite decent. This certainly adds some context to Chubb’s moderate 13% net income growth seen over the past five years.<\/p>\n

Next, on comparing Chubb’s net income growth with the industry, we found that the company’s reported growth is similar to the industry average growth rate of 12% over the last few years.<\/p>\n

Earnings growth is a huge factor in stock valuation. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. Doing so will help them establish if the stock’s future looks promising or ominous. Is Chubb fairly valued compared to other companies? These 3 valuation measures<\/a> might help you decide.<\/p>\n

In Chubb’s case, its respectable earnings growth can probably be explained by its low three-year median payout ratio of 16% (or a retention ratio of 84%), which suggests that the company is investing most of its profits to grow its business.<\/p>\n

Besides, Chubb has been paying dividends for at least ten years or more. This shows that the company is committed to sharing profits with its shareholders. Our latest analyst data shows that the future payout ratio of the company over the next three years is expected to be approximately 16%. Accordingly, forecasts suggest that Chubb’s future ROE will be 12% which is again, similar to the current ROE.<\/p>\n

On the whole, we feel that Chubb’s performance has been quite good. Particularly, we like that the company is reinvesting heavily into its business, and at a high rate of return. Unsurprisingly, this has led to an impressive earnings growth. Having said that, the company’s earnings growth is expected to slow down, as forecasted in the current analyst estimates.
