Market Focus10-23

On October 23, Marsh rose 3.43% in Regular Trading, trading around $197.0 with turnover of $244 million.

The move followed a combination of financing and earnings-related catalysts: the company recently priced 1.2 billion euros of senior notes for general corporate purposes, while stronger-than-expected third-quarter results were followed by multiple analyst target-price increases, helping improve market sentiment.

Marsh said it priced 600 million euros of 4.25% senior notes due 2032 and 600 million euros of 4.625% senior notes due 2036, with closing expected on October 27. Earlier, the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.03 on revenue of $6.86 billion, both ahead of consensus expectations, with consulting organic growth of 8%. Recent target revisions included JPMorgan to $218 from $215, while other firms also lifted targets after the quarterly report.
