Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (ISIN US5717481023) closed at USD 170.01 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, down 1.57 percent from USD 172.72. The move leaves the stock below its 52-week high of USD 207.83 and above its 52-week low of USD 156.60.

Second-quarter revenue reaches USD 7.4 billion

The latest reported period provides the clearest operating anchor. In Q2 2026, revenue increased 6 percent year over year to USD 7.4 billion, while underlying revenue growth reached 5 percent, according to Fortune on September 22, 2026.

Adjusted operating income rose 5 percent to USD 2.2 billion in Q2 2026, producing an adjusted operating margin of 29.3 percent. Adjusted EPS increased 9 percent year over year to USD 2.96, while GAAP EPS was USD 2.63, according to Fortune on September 22, 2026.

Growth is uneven across segments

The Q2 mix matters because the 5 percent underlying group growth was not uniform. Consulting revenue increased 8 percent, Mercer rose 5 percent and Marsh Risk grew 4 percent, while Guy Carpenter declined 2 percent in Q2 2026, as reported by Fortune on September 22, 2026.

For the first six months of 2026, underlying revenue growth was 4 percent. The company also continued to expect 2026 underlying revenue growth similar to 2025, further margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth, while citing exposure to changing economic and geopolitical conditions in its Q2 2026 outlook, according to Fortune on September 22, 2026.
