Marsh & McLennan (ISIN US5717481023) reported third-quarter revenue of USD 6.9 billion on October 15, 2026, up 8.00 percent from the prior-year quarter. According to Business Wire, the company also raised its Thrive savings target from USD 400 million to USD 600 million.

Thrive funds new investment

The savings plan is becoming a larger part of Marsh's operating story. Adjusted operating income rose 6.00 percent to USD 1.5 billion in the third quarter, while adjusted earnings per share increased 10.00 percent to USD 2.03, according to Business Wire. The company said the additional savings would support investment in sales capacity, technology, artificial intelligence and client services.

The reported figures combine growth with a cost-control program. Operating income increased 4.00 percent to USD 1.2 billion, while adjusted operating margin reached 22.70 percent in the third quarter of 2026. The gap between reported and adjusted operating income reflects noteworthy items and identified intangible amortization expense.

Consulting offsets insurance pressure

Consulting provided the clearest growth contribution. Revenue increased 9.00 percent to USD 2.7 billion, with Management Consulting revenue up 14.00 percent to USD 1.0 billion in the third quarter of 2026. Risk and Insurance Services revenue rose 7.00 percent to USD 4.2 billion, while Reinsurance revenue declined 6.00 percent to USD 374.0 million, according to Business Wire.

That mix matters for the next reporting cycle. Management Consulting delivered double-digit growth, but weaker reinsurance pricing remains a counterweight. Marsh said it expects another year of margin expansion and solid adjusted earnings-per-share growth in 2026, subject to economic, geopolitical and market changes.
