Aon Q2 Misses on Revenue, GAAP EPS $2.58; Data-Center Insurance Cap Hits $5B
AON sits 24% above its 52-week low of $304.59.
Summary
Aon's Q2 revenue of $4.25B missed the $4.28B consensus, and GAAP EPS came in at $2.58, well below the adjusted figure of $3.81 that beat by a penny. The miss is modest but notable given the stock trades near its 52-week high. The company also highlighted its data-center insurance program, now scaled to $5B in capacity, though single-project needs can reach $13B–$15B, signaling both opportunity and potential exposure. This follows the July 1 $8.3B buyback authorization and the July 20 announcement of the insurance capacity increase. The GAAP miss and the scale of data-center risks add a layer of caution to an otherwise steady quarter.
At the time of this announcement, AON was trading at $377.16 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $80.6B. The 52-week trading range was $304.59 to $382.34.
