The stock's performance was behind the S&P 500's daily loss of 1.22%. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 1.55%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw a decrease of 0.35%.
Heading into today, shares of the insurer had gained 5.75% over the past month, outpacing the Finance sector's gain of 0.91% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.31% in that time.
The upcoming earnings release of Chubb will be of great interest to investors. In that report, analysts expect Chubb to post earnings of $3.50 per share.

Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $21.52 per share and revenue of $60.31 billion. These totals would mark changes of -4.4% and +7.27%, respectively, from last year.

These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
