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

Amazon.com reported cloud-computing revenue that accelerated for the fifth straight quarter, easing investors’ concerns that the company won’t produce a return on its spending to meet booming demand for artificial intelligence.Revenue jumped 37% to $42.2 billion at Amazon Web Services, which generates about a fifth of the company’s revenue and most of its operating profit, Amazon said Thursday in a statement. It was the fastest pace of growth since the fourth quarter of 2021. Analysts, on average, forecast sales of $40.6 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Like its Big Tech peers, Amazon is spending heavily on data centers and chips in an effort to take advantage of rising demand for AI and cloud-computing services. The company reported spending more than $53 billion on property and equipment, including proceeds from some sales, in the period ended June 30.

Meanwhile, Apple Inc. sales grew more slowly than analysts anticipated in China and its services business last quarter, sparking concerns about two key markets for the iPhone maker.Though total revenue topped estimates, the China sales amounted to $18.8 billion in the fiscal third quarter, well short of the $19.6 billion estimated by analysts. Revenue from services was $30.7 billion, compared with a $31.4 billion projection.
