Arthur J. Gallagher stock was trading at EUR 201.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026, down 2.21 percent versus the prior close of EUR 206.20. Between September 16 and September 25, 2026, Yahoo Finance reported that Wells Fargo said Gallagher lowered its full-year Brokerage organic growth outlook to 5.00 percent from 5.50 percent.
Revenue grows as profit falls
In the second quarter of 2026, total revenue rose 24.20 percent year over year to USD 4.00 billion, while GAAP net income fell 12.00 percent to USD 324.0 million and diluted earnings per share declined to USD 1.25 from USD 1.40. Those figures were reported by LineVest on September 9, 2026.
The contrast reflects the integration of AssuredPartners and higher acquisition amortization. Operating margin was 15.00 percent in the second quarter of 2026, according to the same reported results.
Growth remains acquisition-led
Yahoo Finance said second-quarter organic growth reached 6.00 percent across Brokerage and Risk Management, while Risk Management delivered 12.00 percent organic growth. Property renewals fell 10.00 percent and casualty renewals rose 3.00 percent, showing why the lower Brokerage outlook matters even as reported revenue expands.
The company also completed seven tuck-in acquisitions worth USD 63.0 million of annualized revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and had more than 30 term sheets representing USD 500.0 million, Yahoo Finance reported. For investors, the key tension is clear: acquisitions are lifting the top line, while softer insurance pricing is limiting organic growth.
