Summary · why it matters

The Zacks Brokerage Insurance industry is showing resilient organic growth even as commercial insurance pricing softens, with brokers transitioning from rate-driven to execution-driven growth. Key players Willis Towers Watson, Arthur J. Gallagher, and Aon are best positioned to sustain over 5% organic growth, according to second-quarter 2026 results. Willis Towers Watson delivered 5% organic growth, with its Risk & Broking segment up 7%, and its 2026 earnings per share consensus estimate indicates a 16% year-over-year increase. Arthur J. Gallagher achieved 6% organic growth in the second quarter, up from 5% in the first, and expects 5.5% organic growth in Brokerage and 9% in Risk Management for 2026. Aon generated 5% organic growth for the second consecutive quarter, with broad-based growth across its businesses despite lower treaty pricing. The industry has lost 15.1% in the past year, underperforming the Finance sector's 11.9% gain and the S&P 500's 20.6% rise.
