Brown & Brown Stock: Is BRO Underperforming the Financial Services Sector?

Daytona Beach, Florida-based Brown & Brown, Inc. (BRO) markets and sells insurance products and services in the United States and internationally. With a market cap of $30.6 billion, the company operates through four segments: Retail, Programs, Wholesale Brokerage, and Services.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks." BRO falls squarely into this category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the insurance brokers industry. The company benefits from providing a range of insurance products, including property and casualty insurance, employee benefits, personal insurance, specialty insurance, and risk management strategies.

 

Shares of the company touched their 52-week high of $125.68 on Apr. 3 and have fallen 14.8% from that peak. Shares of BRO have declined 9.4% over the past three months, underperforming the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLF) 4.1% rise over the same time frame.

Shares of the company have surged 18.9% over the past 52 weeks, compared to XLF’s 24.3% surge over the same time frame. However, BRO stock is up 5% on a YTD basis, outperforming XLF’s 4.6% rise.

BRO has been trading below its 200-day moving average since early June and below its 50-day moving average since late April, indicating a downtrend.

BRO stock declined marginally following the release of its Q1 earnings on Apr. 28. The company reported a revenue of $1.4 billion for the period, which successfully met Street’s forecasts. Moreover, its adjusted earnings for the quarter came in at $1.29, failing to meet the consensus estimates

In the competitive insurance industry, top peer, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG), has surged 22.5% over the past year and 11.4% in 2025, outperforming the stock.

Among the 15 analysts covering the BRO stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $119.33 suggests an 11.4% upside potential from current price levels.
