Assessing Aon’s Valuation as Its 2026 Client Treaty Expansion Targets Broader Global Reinsurance Risk-Sharing

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Aon (AON) just renewed its Aon Client Treaty facility for 2026, expanding beyond aviation and construction into facultative reinsurance and opening access to global clients seeking broader, more diversified risk-sharing capacity.

See our latest analysis for Aon.

That renewed treaty comes as Aon’s share price edges higher, with a 30 day share price return of 3.47 percent and a resilient 5 year total shareholder return of 79.49 percent suggesting momentum is gradually rebuilding.

If this kind of risk focused growth story appeals, it could be a good moment to explore other insurance linked plays and uncover opportunities among fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With earnings still growing faster than revenue, a modest pullback over 12 months, and the share price trading below analyst targets, is Aon quietly undervalued here, or are investors already paying up for its next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 10.7% Undervalued

With Aon last closing at $356.65 against a narrative fair value near $399, the current setup leans toward upside if key growth levers deliver.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $411.828 for Aon based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $451.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $349.0.

Curious how mid single digit revenue growth, rising margins and a premium earnings multiple can still imply upside from here? See the full narrative and uncover the numbers driving that call.

Result: Fair Value of $399.37 (UNDERVALUED)

However, softer commercial risk pricing and a heavier post NFP debt load could quickly erode margin expansion and limit the upside implied in today’s valuations.

Another Take On Valuation

On earnings, the picture looks very different. Aon trades on about 28.2 times earnings, well above the US insurance industry at 13.4 times and even its peer average of 26.8 times, and far from a fair ratio near 15.8 times, which signals real de rating risk if sentiment cools.
