Arthur J. Gallagher & Company reported a solid financial and operational performance in the first quarter of 2026, driven by a combination of organic growth and mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The Brokerage segment revenues grew 30%, supported by strong performance across retail, property/casualty (P/C), wholesale, reinsurance, and benefits lines. Meanwhile, the Risk Management segment, Gallagher Bassett, posted 14% revenue growth with healthy new business inflows and client retention, underpinned by a 10% organic increase. Adjusted EBITDAC for the combined segments grew by 18%, marking 24 consecutive quarters of double-digit adjusted EBITDAC growth, alongside underlying margin expansion. The company’s results benefited from disciplined pricing environments across insurance and reinsurance markets.
