On July 28, Brown & Brown fell 5.31% in after-hours trading, trading at $66.0/share, with turnover of $2.8365 million. The decline was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings report, which showed both revenue and adjusted EPS falling short of Wall Street expectations.

Brown & Brown reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.07, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.08 by 0.93%, though still representing a 3.88% year-over-year increase. More notably, quarterly revenue came in at $1.676 billion, meaningfully below the $1.715 billion estimate, a shortfall of approximately 2.3%. The revenue miss was the primary catalyst for selling pressure, confirming market concerns about persistent weakness in property lines.

The results follow a pattern established in Q1, when organic revenue growth came in flat despite better-than-expected EPS. Earlier this year, the company had guided for relatively flat organic growth in its specialty distribution business for Q2. Multiple analysts had already been lowering price targets, with Mizuho cutting to $74, Morgan Stanley to $70, Goldman Sachs to $73, and Wells Fargo to $72, reflecting broader concerns about property pricing remaining down 20%-25% year-over-year through mid-year.
