MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Brown & Brown
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Brown & Brown, Inc.:

  • TD Cowen recently initiated coverage of the stock with a "strong-buy" rating, suggesting that the current valuation may be undervalued and that the company is set for a re-rating upward, which could drive significant price appreciation for shareholders.
  • The stock is currently trading at $69.42, which is below the consensus price target of $76.60, indicating that analysts believe there is still substantial upside potential for the stock price to reach its fair value.
  • Recent 13F filings show a surge in institutional interest, with funds like Vontobel Holding Ltd. and Assenagon Asset Management S.A. significantly increasing their positions in the third quarter, signaling strong confidence from major investors in the company's future performance.
  • Brown & Brown, Inc. reported strong year-over-year revenue growth of 30.4% in the most recent quarter, demonstrating the company's ability to expand its business and generate higher sales despite market challenges.
  • The company maintains a low beta of 0.60, meaning its stock price tends to be less volatile than the overall market, which can provide a more stable investment experience for risk-averse investors.

Brown & Brown
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Brown & Brown, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The consensus rating from analysts remains "Hold," and recent price target cuts from firms like Wells Fargo and Citizens Jmp suggest that some experts are cautious about the stock's near-term growth potential and valuation.
  • In the most recent earnings report, the company missed analysts' consensus estimates for both EPS and revenue, which could indicate operational challenges or slower-than-expected growth in key business segments.
  • Short interest has been increasing, with the number of shares shorted rising to 14,145,445 in the latest reporting period, suggesting that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's price rising.
  • The stock has experienced a series of 52-week lows in recent months, with the price dropping to as low as $55.26, indicating a downward trend and potential lack of momentum in the stock's performance.
  • Some analysts have raised concerns about whether insurer payments are masking underlying weakness in the company's core business, which could lead to future earnings disappointments if these issues are not addressed.
