Arthur J. Gallagher stock faces lower FY2026 EPS forecast

Dowling & PARTN lowered its FY2026 earnings forecast for Arthur J. Gallagher on Wednesday, November 4, according to MarketBeat. The brokerage now expects earnings of 13.15 US dollars per share for the full year, down from 13.75 US dollars. The revised forecast is close to the 13.16-US-dollar analyst consensus.

Quarterly Growth Meets Expectations Unevenly

The estimate revision followed Gallagher's third-quarter results released on Thursday, October 29. The insurance brokerage and risk management company reported earnings of 3.00 US dollars per share, narrowly above the 2.99-US-dollar consensus.

Revenue reached 3.92 billion US dollars, up 19.6 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, but below the 3.98-billion-US-dollar analyst estimate. Earnings per share rose from 2.32 US dollars in the prior-year quarter, while the revenue shortfall left investors with a mixed set of operating signals.

What Investors Should Watch Next

The forecast cut brings Dowling & PARTN close to the broader consensus rather than signalling a sharp break from expectations. For shareholders, the combination of acquisition-supported expansion and a revenue miss places greater emphasis on organic growth, integration execution and the company's ability to convert strong sales growth into earnings.

Arthur J. Gallagher stock traded at 250.25 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:02 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026.
