Brown & Brown (ISIN US1156371007) was last at USD 60.93 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.70 percent from the previous close. The insurance broker is heading toward its October 26 third-quarter report, giving investors a defined checkpoint after a mixed second-quarter performance.

October 26 sets the next checkpoint

According to Markets Insider on October 1, 2026, Brown & Brown will release its third-quarter 2026 earnings after the market close on October 26, followed by an investor conference call on October 27 at 8:00 a.m. EDT. The schedule makes the upcoming report the clearest near-term test for the brokerage group's earnings momentum.

Brown & Brown, Inc. serves commercial and personal insurance clients through retail brokerage, specialty distribution, employee benefits, risk management and related services. Its business mix gives the October report two important points of comparison: organic revenue generation and the contribution from acquisitions.

Revenue grew while EPS missed

According to MarketBeat, second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 1.65 billion, up 30.4 percent from the same quarter of 2025. Reported EPS was USD 1.07 against a USD 1.08 consensus estimate, so the company missed the earnings benchmark by USD 0.01 even as revenue expanded.

That combination puts execution ahead of the October release. A revenue increase of 30.4 percent provides scale, while the USD 0.01 EPS shortfall leaves margin conversion and acquisition integration as the figures most likely to shape the market response.

Analysts see room above the stock

Markets Insider reported on October 1, 2026, that JPMorgan raised its Brown & Brown price target to USD 83 from USD 80 while keeping a Neutral rating. The analyst action came in a Q3 earnings preview and cited valuation and the continuing overhang from artificial intelligence concerns.

The broader view is measured. According to MarketBeat on September 26, 2026, 19 analysts assign the stock a consensus Hold rating, with 14 holds, four buys and one sell. The average 12-month target is USD 76.60, which lies 25.7 percent above the October 5 price of USD 60.93.
