Aon plc (AON) Q3 Organic Rev +6%, Adj. EPS +10%

What happened

Aon plc reported Q3 revenue of $4.1B, up 3%, with organic growth of 6%. Adjusted EPS rose 10% to $3.36, and GAAP diluted EPS was $2.23, up 6%. Adjusted operating margin expanded to 27.0%.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Organic growth of 6% shows Aon's core business is winning more client work, while a wider adjusted operating margin means more profit per sale. Together with double-digit adjusted EPS growth, that supports the case for steady earnings.

Analyst inference

The 3% revenue drag from divestitures, which means sold businesses, masks stronger underlying demand. Free cash flow of $1.9B year to date gives Aon cash available to fund the pending USI acquisition and return money to shareholders.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether Aon closes the pending USI acquisition, a deal the article says is in progress, and whether management later reports clear cost savings from combining the two businesses. Confirmed
2. Watch for continued double-digit adjusted EPS growth into Q4 and FY26, a target the article frames as the bigger catalyst for the stock. Proposed
3. Watch organic revenue growth holding near 6%, since it shows demand independent of divestitures, and watch adjusted operating margin for whether efficiency gains persist. Analyst inference
