Chubb, one of the largest and best-run P&C insurers in the world, could be a perfect fit for Berkshire, which has a huge P&C business, led by Geico, the No. 3 auto insurer, as well as large reinsurance operations and a growing primary P&C business.
Chubb fits that bill, now trading reasonably at about 12 times projected 2024 earnings. If Berkshire were to offer $325 a share, a premium of over 20%, that would be a $130 billion deal and value Chubb at 15 times earnings. Such a deal would be accretive to Berkshire’s earnings given that the company’s cash is now earning a 5%-plus yield in Treasury bills. A P/E of 15 equates to an earnings “yield” of about 7%.
