Aon plc (IE00BLP1HW54) remains on the radar of NYSE investors after the global broker and consulting group most recently lifted its quarterly cash dividend to 0.675 US dollars per share, as stated in its April 2026 board resolution. The company positions itself as a large-cap member of the S&P 500 with a focus on risk, retirement and health advisory.

What recent reports show

On 26 April 2026 Aon reported first quarter 2026 results with total revenue of 3.56 billion US dollars and an operating margin of 29.5 percent, according to the company’s earnings release. Organic revenue growth reached around mid-single digits in its core Risk Capital segment, driven by commercial risk and reinsurance solutions. The Q1 2026 IR release details that Adjusted EPS came in above 5 US dollars, illustrating the fee-based resilience of Aon’s advisory model.

In the same document the board confirmed the regular quarterly cash dividend of 0.675 US dollars per share, payable in May 2026 to shareholders of record as of 1 May 2026. This level is higher than the 0.615 US dollars per share Aon distributed per quarter in 2024, underlining a progressive dividend pattern over recent years. Including buybacks, the firm returned more than 800 million US dollars to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026.
