U.S. Commercial Insurance Rates Rise 2.5% in Q1, Moderation Continues
WTW is trading near its 52-week low of $240.615 (9.7% above the low).
Summary
U.S. commercial insurance rates rose 2.5% in Q1 2026, marking the third consecutive quarter of moderating increases, down significantly from 5.3% in Q1 2025. This trend of softening pricing was observed across most commercial lines, with Commercial Auto rate increases falling below double digits for the first time since Q3 2023. This continued deceleration in rate increases could temper revenue growth for insurance brokers and carriers, including WTW, as it signals a less robust pricing environment in the broader market.
At the time of this announcement, WTW was trading at $263.91 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $24.9B. The 52-week trading range was $240.61 to $352.79.
