Data as of June 23, 2026.Foolish TakeExamining the revenue trends for insurance giants Chubb and Travelers is a contrast between the former's greater variability across quarters versus the latter's quarterly sales consistency. This difference is a result of Chubb's global operations. Nearly half of its sales come from international markets, exposing the company to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.Meanwhile, in 2025, Travelers produced 93% of its revenue from the U.S., and its Canada operations were sold at the start of 2026, reducing international exposure even further. As a result, Chubb's sales are meaningfully higher than Travelers.While quarterly revenue fluctuations are normal, a trend to look for is rising year-over-year sales. From that perspective, Chubb has experienced stronger growth. Its first-quarter revenue of $14.8 billion was a 10% increase over 2025's $13.4 billion while Travelers' sales rose 1% in that time. Given Travelers is U.S.-focused, its revenue won't see the kind of expansion that Chubb can enjoy from its global presence.Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
