Aon plc and The Jacobson Group will co-host a complimentary webinar at 1 p.m. CST on February 19, 2026, to present findings from their Q1 2026 U.S. Insurance Labor Market Study. Conducted between January 12 and February 1, the semi-annual survey canvassed insurance carriers across all major lines—property & casualty, life & health and specialty—on hiring intentions and revenue plans for the next 12 months. Key presenters will include Jeffrey Blair, Senior Vice President of Executive Search and Business Development at The Jacobson Group, and Jeff Rieder, Partner and Head of Performance Benchmarking in Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group. Registrants will gain detailed benchmarks on anticipated staffing needs, turnover projections and compensation trends as insurers refine talent strategies for 2026 and beyond.

On February 3, 2026, Citigroup upgraded Aon’s stock rating to Buy and lifted its 12-month price target by ten points, reflecting confidence in Aon’s risk and human capital offerings and growth outlook. Around the same time, Principal Financial Group trimmed its Aon holdings by 1.8%, disposing of just under 5,000 shares valued at approximately ninety-one million dollars, while Flaharty Asset Management established a new position and Mutual Advisors increased its stake by nearly 300%. These moves illustrate active portfolio rebalancing and continued institutional faith in Aon’s ability to deliver resilient margins amid evolving market conditions.

Analyst Elyse Greenspan of Wells Fargo recently set a bullish 12-month price target implying about 27% upside for Aon, underscoring strong 2025 results that included sustained organic revenue growth and margin expansion. Management’s disciplined execution of the “3×3 plan”—integrating risk and human capital services, expanding client leadership capabilities and scaling Aon Business Services—was highlighted as a key driver. Innovation in analytical tools such as Risk Analyzers and the launch of Aon Broker Copilot and Claims Copilot, along with a more than 40% increase in alternative capital market issuance, further support expectations for continued mid-single-digit or better organic growth in 2026.
