Cautiously optimistic about 2026 organic growth

Brown & Brown reported a strong Q4 with significant total revenue growth driven by M&A, but organic growth was negative due to a tough comparison from prior-year flood revenue. Management discusses the impact of falling E&S property rates, rising employee benefits costs, and the competitive threat from a startup broker poaching talent. Q4 total revenues grew 35.7% to $1.6B, but organic revenue decreased 2.8% due to prior-year flood claims processing revenue.

Business is moving from the E&S market to the admitted market due to competitive pricing, but the long-term trend still favors more insured assets moving into the E&S space. — Despite cyclical shifts, secular demand for flexible E&S capacity remains strong, benefiting carriers like Chubb that underwrite surplus lines.

Доказательства
“we continue to believe that there's going to be more insured assets, though, moving into the ENS space versus moving back into the admitted.”
