Movement Alert|Arthur J. Gallagher Intraday Rise 4.61% in Regular Trading, Rebounding After Jefferies Raised Its Price Target

Market Focus00:20

On November 5, Arthur J. Gallagher rose 4.61% in Regular Trading, trading at $287.6 per share with turnover of $162 million.

The clearest recent catalyst in publicly available information is a Jefferies price-target increase to $319 from $295, which followed the company’s latest quarterly results and stood above the consensus mean target of about $300.17.

Recent background has been mixed: Arthur J. Gallagher reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $3.00, in line with expectations, while revenue of $3.93 billion missed the $3.986 billion estimate. Separately, BMO Capital downgraded the stock to market perform from outperform on November 4, a move that coincided with a more than 2% drop in the prior session. The current rise suggests the market is re-pricing the shares after that weakness while reassessing the updated valuation view.
