33rd consecutive dividend increase + Strait of Hormuz lead underwriter → CB pricing power holds

Chubb announced its 33rd consecutive annual dividend increase, raising the quarterly payment to $0.91 per share, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable income stock in the insurance sector. The company was named lead underwriter for a major Strait of Hormuz shipping consortium, capitalizing on elevated geopolitical risk premiums in marine and energy insurance. Analysts rate CB a Buy with an average price target of $290, though catastrophe loss exposure from an active hurricane season remains the primary downside risk.
