Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$427.31

+48.1% from spot

The modal base case path reflects steady mid-single-digit organic growth supported by recurring corporate benefits administration in Health, Wealth & Career and balanced international commercial placement. The Propel restructuring program steadily scales operating margins over the transformation horizon, while disciplined annual share repurchases compound per-share cash flow, supporting the composite fair value midpoint.

Consolidated revenue growth tracks mid-single digits in FY2026 in line with management guidance, moderating over the forecast horizon toward long-term GDP growth.
Consolidated adjusted operating margin expands steadily from FY2025 levels across the forecast horizon, approaching management's long-term margin target.
Capital allocation maintains annual share repurchases in line with management's capital return commitment, steadily reducing diluted shares outstanding.

Bull20%

Price target

$650.40

+125.4% from spot

Under the upside scenario, the $625M Propel restructuring program rapidly eliminates administrative bottlenecks, enabling brokers and consultants to win competitive market share from peers. Enterprise adjusted operating margins reach 30.0% by FY2028, supported by 35% in Health, Wealth & Career and 30% in Risk & Broking. Accelerated free cash flow expansion finances heavy share repurchases, compounding diluted EPS toward the top of our valuation range.

Consolidated revenue growth averages 6.0% annually, propelled by accelerated market share gains from peer brokers and health consulting expansion.
Propel automation achieves targeted efficiency ahead of schedule, lifting adjusted operating margins to 30.0% by FY2028.
Annual capital returns exceed $1.0B in share repurchases, retiring 2.5% of common shares per year.
