Published on 09/19/2026 at 13:17 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Brown & Brown stock (ISIN US1156371007) opened at USD 64.92 on September 19, 2026, and the company carried a market capitalization of USD 21.72 billion. Mizuho cut its price target to USD 83.00 from USD 86.00, according to Ground News on September 19, 2026.
July 27 numbers still frame it
Brown & Brown reported USD 1.07 in earnings per share for the quarter on July 27, 2026, missing the consensus estimate by USD 0.01, while revenue reached USD 1.65 billion versus USD 1.71 billion expected, according to MarketBeat. The same report said revenue rose 30.4 percent from the year-earlier quarter, which gives the stock a concrete operating comparison rather than just a price move.
MarketBeat also cited a net margin of 17.75 percent and return on equity of 13.17 percent for the quarter, while analysts as a group forecast 4.5 EPS for the current fiscal year. That combination leaves the debate centered on execution after the July 27 report rather than on a single-day quote.
Targets and dividend
Brown & Brown also paid a quarterly dividend of USD 0.165 per share on August 19, 2026, after an ex-dividend date of August 12, 2026, according to MarketBeat. On the same day, the same source said the consensus rating was Hold and the consensus target price was USD 76.60.
Stock at the open
Brown & Brown stock traded at USD 64.92 on September 19, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 21.72 billion. The Mizuho cut to USD 83.00 keeps the gap to the current quote wide enough to stay relevant for valuation watchers.
