On July 1, Aon rose 3.98% in regular trading, trading at approximately $345.03/share, with turnover of $183 million. The rally was driven by Goldman Sachs raising its price target on Aon from $367 to $375 while maintaining a Buy rating, alongside broad-based strength across the insurance brokerage sector.
According to FactSet polling, Aon currently carries a consensus overweight rating with a mean price target of $383.79, implying further upside from the current level. The target price increase comes on the back of solid fundamental performance — Aon reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $6.48, beating the consensus estimate of $6.40 by 1.25%, while revenue of $5.034 billion grew 6.45% year-over-year and net income surged 26.17%.
Within the Insurance Brokers sector, peers posted notable gains: Brown & Brown up 5.68%, Arthur J. Gallagher up 5.35%, Willis Towers Watson up 5.34%, Ryan Specialty up 5.18%, and Marsh up 3.82%, reflecting a sector-wide tailwind that amplified the stock-specific catalyst.
