Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. stock (US5717481023) is trading around $187.75 after a second-quarter update that showed EPS of $2.96 on revenue of $7.28 billion for the period ended June 30, 2026. The same update showed a year-over-year revenue increase of 6.2% and EPS that topped the $2.89 consensus by $0.07.
Second-quarter numbers
The latest reported quarter gives investors the cleanest read on the business today. Revenue rose from a lower base last year to $7.28 billion, while net margin was 14.24% and return on equity reached 32.67%.
That mix matters because the company is still being valued on steady execution rather than a single catalyst trade. A market capitalization of $89.60 billion and a 52-week range of $156.60 to $213.80 frame the current move in context.
Market view
Consensus sentiment remains cautious but constructive, with a Hold rating and an average price target of $201.94. The stock also traded with a 50-day moving average of $177.66, leaving the current quote above that trend line.
For shareholders, the dividend is another anchor. The quarterly payout was lifted to $0.99 per share and the annualized rate stands at $3.96, with the most recent dividend paid on August 14, 2026.
Insurance and advisory mix
Marsh & McLennan's core business spans risk, strategy and people advisory, with insurance brokerage and consulting work feeding recurring fee revenue. That model helps explain why the latest quarter could combine a 6.2% revenue increase with a 14.24% net margin.
As a peer comparison, the market is still willing to pay up for stable compounders in the insurance and advisory space when margins hold and guidance stays intact. The current numbers leave the shares between the recent high and low while the dividend adds income support.
