MMC, Aon plc AON and AMERISAFE, Inc. AMSF, have already reported their financial results for the June quarter of 2025. Here’s how they had performed:Marsh & McLennan reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $2.72, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.3%, aided by strong growth in Risk and Insurance Services, particularly from the Marsh and Guy Carpenter businesses. However, the upside was partly offset by Marsh & McLennan’s elevated operating expenses, primarily due to increased compensation and benefits.AON reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.49 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.7%, benefiting from new business growth and solid retention rates in its solution lines. AON’s Risk Capital and Human Capital segments gained from organic revenue growth, NFP acquisition synergies and net restructuring savings. However, the upside was partially offset by escalating operating costs.AMERISAFE reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 53 cents, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.6%, affected by a drop in net investment income, softer underwriting results and elevated expense levels. AMERISAFE’s strong retention rates and new business growth partially offset the negatives.Higher. Faster. Sooner.
