Marsh & McLennan opened 2026 with results that validated its defensive positioning in a softening insurance cycle, posting adjusted EPS of $3.29, up 8% year-over-year and comfortably ahead of the $3.21 consensus estimate. Consolidated revenue reached $7.6 billion, growing 8% reported and 4% on an underlying basis, with both the Risk & Insurance Services and Consulting segments contributing meaningfully despite persistent headwinds from declining P&C pricing and lower fiduciary interest income. The quarter's clean execution reinforces management's confidence in replicating 2025's underlying growth trajectory through 2026, with margin expansion expected to be more heavily weighted to the second half.
