Marsh & McLennan (ISIN US5717481023) completed its acquisition of Accel Holdings on October 2, 2026, while its stock was at EUR 151.48 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026. According to Finanznachrichten, Accel will operate within Marsh Agency and adds retirement, wealth management, and agribusiness expertise in Iowa.
Accel expands Marsh Agency
The transaction strengthens Marsh Agency's presence in Iowa, but its financial terms were not disclosed, according to Finanznachrichten. All Accel employees joined Marsh Agency and continue working from their current locations.
The acquisition adds a small-business and regional insurance angle to a group whose wider platform spans risk management, reinsurance, consulting, people, and investments. The official company website identifies 130 countries and more than 95,000 colleagues as part of the group's global reach.
Second-quarter growth meets rate pressure
In the second quarter of 2026, revenue increased 6.00 percent year over year to USD 7.40 billion, according to Fortune. Adjusted earnings per share rose 9.00 percent to USD 2.96, while operating income reached USD 1.90 billion.
The mix matters. Consulting revenue grew 10.00 percent to USD 2.60 billion, while Risk and Insurance Services revenue rose 4.00 percent to USD 4.80 billion. Guy Carpenter revenue fell 2.00 percent to USD 664.00 million as declining reinsurance rates offset new business growth.
October results set the next test
Marsh & McLennan expects another year of underlying revenue growth similar to 2025 and further margin expansion, according to Fortune. Management also lifted planned 2026 capital deployment to USD 5.50 billion from USD 5.00 billion, covering dividends, acquisitions, and share repurchases.
The next measurable checkpoint is the third-quarter report. Boerse Express reported that the company scheduled its third-quarter 2026 figures for October 15, 2026, before the US market opens.
