Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) is on a strategic acquisition streak, bolstering its portfolio and enhancing its market share both domestically and internationally. This includes the mega acquisitions of Woodruff Sawyer and AssuredPartners, worth $1.2 billion and $13.45 billion respectively. Such deals are anticipated to reshape the insurance industry and strengthen AJG's foothold in several sectors, including small business insurance, retirement services, and high-net-worth services. Institutions hold AJG in high regard given its steady financial performance and significant stock appreciation especially in the last five years. It is also geared towards a significant dividend hike, thus making it an interesting prospect for investors. However, amidst these positive developments, the company also faced a significant slump in stock price due to insider sales. On the other hand, AJG's Q4 earnings exceeded expectations, thanks to higher commissions and fees, leading to a positive stock price projection. Moving forward, AJG continues to be an acquisition spree and is currently discussing over 100 deals worth up to $1.4bn in annualized revenues.
