Arthur J. Gallagher Q2 Revenue Meets Estimates at $4B, Organic Growth Hits 6%
AJG sits 31% above its 52-week low of $190.75.
Summary
Arthur J. Gallagher reported Q2 revenue of $4.0 billion, in line with analyst expectations, and adjusted EPS of $2.84. The combined Brokerage and Risk Management segments delivered 6% organic growth, supported by strong client retention and new business. However, higher compensation and operating expenses, partly from integration and technology costs, pressured margins, resulting in a lower Q2 profit. The company repurchased 0.9 million shares for $170 million during the quarter. No specific guidance was provided. This follows a series of acquisitions throughout the quarter and the recent death of Lead Independent Director David Johnson, adding a layer of management transition.
