Analysis of Berkshire Hathaway Holdings Chubb and American Express Following Record Third-Quarter Earnings
Following record third-quarter earnings reports, two major holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio—Chubb Limited and American Express—are seeing significant financial momentum. Chubb reported a 4.4% increase in diluted earnings per share to $7.30, driven by record net income of $8.02 billion for the first nine months of the year. Despite increased catastrophic losses due to weather events, the insurer maintained a strong P&C combined ratio of approximately 84%. American Express also demonstrated strength with record third-quarter revenue reaching $20.1 billion and diluted earnings per share rising 31% year-over-year to $5.42. These results underscore the continued performance of Berkshire Hathaway's concentrated investment strategy, which remains a focus under new CEO Greg Abel following Warren Buffett's retirement.
