Through Vaultik's platform, owners can photograph their items and receive AI-powered authentication and valuation results, reviewed by experts at Birmingham Assay Office. Eligible customers can then request insurance quotes from Chubb and purchase coverage digitally within the same application.

Vaultik's KYP protocol generates authentication and valuation outputs from photographs, whilst Birmingham Assay Office provides specialist review.

Chubb reported second quarter 2026 results with net income of $2.854 billion and earnings per share in line with the prior year. The insurer's shares fell 2.52% over seven days but delivered a 13.1% year-to-date return and 32.82% total shareholder return over 12 months. Analysts value Chubb at approximately $365.87 per share, suggesting the stock is roughly 4% undervalued at its recent close of $350.68. The company authorised a new $5 billion share buyback programme alongside growing dividends. Growth drivers include specialised insurance demand in cyber security and high-net-worth personal lines, supported by digitalisation and climate-related risks. However, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.1x, above the 11.7x US insurance industry average, leaving limited room for error if growth expectations weaken.

Chubb will report second-quarter 2026 results on 21 July, with its earnings call scheduled for 22 July. The insurer has issued guidance for adjusted net investment income of US$1.83 billion to US$1.85 billion for the quarter. Analysts are focusing on Chubb's expansion into middle-market business and new distribution agreements. The company's investment narrative centres on disciplined underwriting and capital returns, though pricing softness in large account property and elevated catastrophe costs remain key concerns. Chubb's revenue projections suggest US$50.1 billion by 2029, assuming a 6.4% annual decline, with earnings forecast at US$10.9 billion. Simply Wall St Community members value the company between US$345 and US$662 per share, reflecting divergent views on its prospects amid ongoing margin pressures.
