Aon should continue to expand margins, while organic growth remains resilient, aided by its scale, restructuring savings and Aon Business Services operating model. Since 2020, broker results have benefited from cost actions and operating leverage, firm P&C pricing, strong exposure growth and, more recently, higher fiduciary income. Those tailwinds are fading and comparisons are tougher, reducing upside to organic gains and margins across the group. Even so, Bloomberg Intelligence reports that Aon's growth remains competitive and could modestly outpace Marsh in 2026, while ABS and restructuring should support further margin expansion despite a slower sector backdrop

For more, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Edmund Reese, CFO at AON
