Aon Stock Plunges 5.43% on Earnings Miss

Aon's stock price dropped by 5.43% in pre-market trading on April 25, 2025, reflecting investor concerns over the company's first-quarter earnings performance.

Aon reported adjusted earnings per share of $5.67 for the first quarter of 2025, falling short of the consensus estimate of $6.03. This shortfall in earnings was accompanied by revenue of $4.73 billion, which also missed analyst expectations.

The company's net income attributable to shareholders decreased by 17% to $4.43 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $5.35 per share in the prior year. This decline in profitability has raised questions about Aon's ability to maintain its growth trajectory.

Despite the earnings miss, Aon reported organic growth of 5% for the quarter. However, this growth was not sufficient to offset the negative impact of the earnings shortfall on investor sentiment.

Analysts had projected Aon's Q1 revenue to hit $4.86 billion, a 19.4% year-over-year increase from the $4.07 billion reported in Q1 2024. The actual revenue of $4.73 billion fell short of these projections, contributing to the stock price decline.
