Did AJG Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Arthur J. Gallagher delivered a mixed third quarter for fiscal 2025, posting adjusted EPS of $2.32 and revenue of $3.33 billion that fell short of Wall Street's expectations of $2.54 and $3.46 billion, respectively, representing misses of 8.54% and 3.92%. The headline shortfall, however, was inseparable from the company's transformative $13.80 billion acquisition of AssuredPartners, which closed August 18 and added approximately 10,900 employees along with an estimated $3.04 billion in annualized revenues, while simultaneously inflating interest costs to $160.80 million from $92.90 million a year earlier and compressing near-term margins. Revenue still climbed 18.5% year over year, extending Gallagher's streak to 19 consecutive quarters of double-digit top-line growth, with combined Brokerage and Risk Management segments delivering 4.8% organic growth. Shares fell to a 52-week low in the wake of the report, though management pushed back on pessimism, with the CEO noting no signs of economic slowdown and describing the early AssuredPartners integration as off to a strong start.
