Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) has consistently demonstrated strong performance, highlighted by several strategic acquisitions that have bolstered its core business lines and expanded its footprint globally. AJG's Q1 2025 earnings surpassed estimates, showing notable growth despite the earnings per share (EPS) missing expectations. These earnings were boosted by higher revenues, with Q1 2025 revenues hitting US$3,315 million.
Gallagher's M&A activity has added companies like Dean R. Casey & Associates, Woodruff Sawyer and Aspera to its portfolio, further strengthening its position within the insurance sector. However, the acquisition of AssuredPartners for $13.45 billion, one of the largest insurance deals ever, has seen regulatory scrutiny with requests for additional information. In response to this acquisition, a significant stock offering of $8.5 billion was launched.
Analysts continue to express positivity towards AJG, raising the company's price target to $315 and $388. Notably, Jim Cramer regarded Gallagher as 'insurance on fire', and the stock hit an all-time high of $346. Despite EPS misses, the robust growth and strategic expansion incentives to hold on to AJG stock.
