Earlier this summer, one of those Fools, All-Star joryko, highlighted Chubb as a particularly solid opportunity: "Not an explosive growth story with 4% yearly revenue growth over the last decade, but a constantly growing dividend (10+ years of increases), quality valuation (12 P/E & 11 Price to Cash Flow), a 12% profit margin, and low debt, make Chubb worth a look."
