Marsh & McLennan (ISIN US5717481023) was last at USD 170.43 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, up 0.22 percent on the session. The company completed its acquisition of Accel Holdings on October 2, adding insurance and advisory capabilities in Iowa, according to finanzen.ch.
Accel expands Marsh Agency
Accel operates within Marsh Agency, and its employees remain at their existing locations, finanzen.ch reported on October 2, 2026. The transaction adds retirement, wealth management and agribusiness expertise while the financial terms remain undisclosed in the report.
The deal is a targeted expansion rather than a change to Marsh McLennan's overall structure. The company operates through risk, reinsurance, people and investment advisory businesses, giving the Iowa addition a direct connection to its existing agency platform.
Q2 revenue reached USD 7.28 billion
Marsh & McLennan reported USD 7.28 billion in Q2 2026 revenue and USD 2.96 in earnings per share, according to MarketBeat. Earnings per share exceeded the USD 2.89 consensus by USD 0.07, while revenue increased 6.2 percent from the prior-year quarter.
The latest quarterly figures give the acquisition a financial backdrop: Marsh McLennan entered the Accel announcement with revenue growth and an earnings beat already visible in the Q2 results. The next test is whether the Iowa expansion can add to growth across a broader client base.
Consensus target sits above USD 203
Analysts maintain a Hold consensus based on 18 ratings, with an average price target of USD 203.69, a high target of USD 236.00 and a low target of USD 174.00, according to MarketBeat. The average target lies 19.5 percent above the USD 170.43 price.
JPMorgan raised its target from USD 212 to USD 215 while maintaining an Overweight rating on October 1, 2026, Benzinga reported. That individual view is more positive than the broader Hold consensus.
