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

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

The stock is currently trading at $71.92, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $76.80, suggesting potential for upside as the consensus rating remains "Hold" with a mix of buy and neutral recommendations from major firms like JPMorgan and Raymond James.
Brown & Brown, Inc. demonstrated strong revenue growth in its most recent quarter, reporting $1.65 billion in revenue, which represents a 30.4% increase compared to the same period last year, indicating robust demand for its insurance brokerage and risk advisory services.
The company maintains a low beta of 0.58, meaning its stock price tends to be less volatile than the overall market, which can provide a defensive characteristic for investors seeking stability during market fluctuations.
Institutional interest in the stock has been increasing, with several major funds such as HSBC Holdings PLC and Legal & General Group Plc establishing new positions or increasing their holdings in the second quarter of 2026, signaling confidence in the company's long-term outlook.
Brown & Brown, Inc. offers a consistent dividend yield of 0.91% with a low payout ratio of 20.82%, providing income to shareholders while retaining the majority of earnings for reinvestment and growth.

Brown & Brown
Bear Case

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

The stock has experienced a significant decline from its 52-week high of $97.15 to its current price of $71.92, reflecting a downward trend that has persisted through recent months despite some institutional buying.
In its most recent earnings report, Brown & Brown, Inc. missed analyst expectations for both earnings per share, reporting $1.07 against a consensus of $1.08, and revenue, coming in at $1.65 billion compared to the expected $1.71 billion.
The company's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 22.69, which is relatively high compared to its growth rate, as indicated by a price-to-earnings-growth ratio of 3.65, suggesting the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings momentum.
Short interest in the stock has been rising, with shares shorted increasing to 14.2 million as of August 2026, indicating that a growing number of investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
The consensus rating from analysts is "Hold," with fourteen out of nineteen research firms recommending a hold, suggesting that the stock is fairly valued and may lack the catalysts needed for significant near-term appreciation.
