Performance & Distributions
Market Pricing Multiples
Growth Story
CHUBB's top-line performance is characterized by an Insurance Revenue (TTM) of SAR 399M, contrasted with a Gross Written Premium (GWP) of SAR 141M, reflecting its specific reinsurance and risk-sharing structures. The company's sustainable growth rate stands at 9.49%, supported by a sustainable ROE of 1.11%. This indicates a highly conservative growth trajectory where market penetration is balanced against capital preservation, rather than pursuing rapid market-share acquisition at the expense of underwriting quality.
Profitability Dynamics
On the profitability front, CHUBB demonstrates solid underwriting discipline with a Combined Ratio of 95.07%, indicating that its core insurance operations are technically profitable. However, this operational efficiency does not fully translate into high shareholder returns, as the Return on Equity (ROE) stands at a modest 2.23%. This return falls significantly short of its estimated Cost of Equity (Ke) of 8.70%, which is derived with a Beta of 1.0038. The low ROE is partly a function of a very strong equity base of SAR 478M relative to its net income of SAR 11M, meaning that while underwriting is profitable, the capital is underutilized from a pure return perspective, even with investment assets of SAR 265M contributing to the bottom line.
Risk & Capital Structure
Risk Factors
From a risk and solvency perspective, CHUBB presents an exceptionally low-risk profile. With Total Equity of SAR 478M supporting Total Assets of SAR 752M, the company maintains a massive capital cushion. Insurance Contract Liabilities stand at SAR 215M, which is comfortably covered by its equity and investment portfolio of SAR 265M. This capital structure ensures robust compliance with SAMA's solvency requirements and provides a strong buffer against underwriting shocks, though it highlights a highly conservative capital allocation strategy that limits financial leverage.
