On August 31, Aon PLC fell 4.9% in regular trading, trading at $333.48/share, with turnover of $17.306 million.
On the news front, Aon PLC announced it will acquire insurance brokerage firm USI Insurance Services from private equity firm KKR for approximately $17 billion, including debt. USI, headquartered in New York, generates annual revenue of approximately $3 billion and specializes in risk management and employee benefits consulting for midsize enterprises. The acquisition aims to expand Aon PLC's footprint in the fast-growing middle-market insurance brokerage segment. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter and become accretive to adjusted earnings per share as early as 2028. Bank of America Securities and Citi are advising Aon PLC, while Goldman Sachs, Insurance Advisory Partners, and Morgan Stanley are advising KKR. The significant deal size and associated short-term financial pressure, combined with integration uncertainty, appear to be the primary factors weighing on the stock price.
