EX-99.1 2 mmc2q2026ex991newsrelease.htm PRESS RELEASE JUNE 30, 2026 Document Marsh 212 345 5000 www.corporate.marsh.com News release Exhibit 99.1 Marsh reports second quarter 2026 results • Revenue Growth of 6%; Underlying Revenue Growth of 5% • GAAP Operating Income Increases 4%
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can reassess near-term earnings power and capital return expectations based on the disclosed revenue, operating income, EPS, and shareholder actions (buybacks and a dividend increase).
Market read
Q2 2026 results show mid-single-digit revenue growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth, alongside a 10% dividend hike and continued buybacks.
What to watch
The release emphasizes adjusted metrics; without details on the excluded items and any segment margin pressure, traders may over-weight the adjusted EPS beat.
Background
SEC Form 8-K Item 2.02 includes Marsh’s Q2 2026 earnings release and related financial condition highlights.
Ticker impact
Marsh reported Q2 2026 results with 6% revenue growth and GAAP EPS of $2.63, plus 9% adjusted EPS growth to $2.96.
Likely modest positive bias if the market had expected slower growth or lower EPS, with additional support from the 10% dividend increase and ongoing buybacks.
The filing provides concrete, time-specific financial results and shareholder return actions, but it does not include explicit guidance or consensus comparisons in the provided text.
Market effects
Reinsurance and insurance brokerage demand signals can influence sentiment across risk and reinsurance intermediaries.
International underlying growth (EMEA, Asia Pacific, Latin America) suggests broad-based demand rather than a single-region driver.
As a global broker, results can marginally affect expectations for capital markets and risk-transfer activity.
Counterpoint
Operating income fell 5% for the first six months on a GAAP basis, which could temper enthusiasm despite adjusted EPS growth.
