Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$280.32

+20.9% from spot

In the Base case, Arthur J. Gallagher executes in line with management guidance and consensus expectations. Full-year 2026 organic revenue growth reaches 6.0%, combining 5.5% brokerage growth and 9.0% Risk Management growth. Core brokerage operating margins expand by 40 to 60 basis points as the centralized IT chassis standardizes workflows. FY2027 diluted EPS reaches consensus of $14.89, supported by steady client retention in middle-market retail brokerage and expanding wholesale scale in the UK ($2,477M in FY2025 revenue).

Consolidated organic revenue growth delivers 6.0% in FY2026 with brokerage at 5.5% and risk management at 9.0%
Brokerage underlying operating margin expands 40 to 60 basis points annually
Consolidated revenue reaches consensus of $16,726M in FY2026 and $18,253M in FY2027
Diluted EPS compounds to consensus expectations of $14.89 in FY2027
Terminal valuation multiple anchors near long-term historical forward earnings multiples alongside sustainable terminal growth

Bull20%

Price target

$351.13

+51.5% from spot

In the Bull case, heightened structural risk complexity across AI infrastructure, data centers, supply chain bottlenecks, and geopolitical perils accelerates corporate insurance demand. Brokerage organic revenue growth exceeds 7.0% while Risk Management expands double digits (>10.0%). Operational leverage expands underlying margins by more than 80 basis points, outpacing the 40 to 60 basis points guidance and closing the gap toward peer AON's 23.46% operating margin. Strong cash generation accelerates debt deleveraging, lowering interest costs and supporting fair value toward $351.13.

Commercial lines pricing remains firmer for longer across property and casualty lines
Brokerage organic revenue growth accelerates to 7.0%+ and Risk Management growth exceeds 10.0%
Operating leverage drives underlying brokerage margin expansion of 80+ bps, well above guided range
Consolidated operating margins narrow the gap toward peer AON's 23.46%
Strong free cash flow accelerates debt deleveraging, lowering interest costs and supporting fair value toward $351.13
