Better performances in both segments are likely to aid AJG’s second-quarter results. New business, solid retention and higher renewal premiums across its business lines are likely to have benefited the second-quarter performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fees is pegged at $925 million, indicating an increase of 12% from the prior-year period’s reported number. The consensus mark for commissions is pegged at $1.8 billion, implying 12.5% growth from the prior-year period’s reported number.
Excellent client retention, strong new business production, and increases in customer business activity are expected to have favored the Risk management segment.
Continued strong customer retention, higher new business generation and increasing renewal premiums, an improvement in interest income earned on own and fiduciary funds are expected to have benefited the Brokerage segment.
Increased commissions and fees, higher supplemental revenues and improved contingent revenues and investment income, as well as strategic mergers and acquisitions, are likely to have driven the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
Total expenses are likely to have increased mainly because of higher compensation, reimbursements, interest, amortization and changes in estimated acquisition earnout payables.
