AI Insight: AJG Financial Trends

Q1 2026 revenue surged to $4,758M — up 27.7% year-over-year — while net income hit $822M, both record highs in the dataset.

Revenue grew from $2,775M in Q2 2024 to $4,758M in Q1 2026, reflecting sustained top-line acceleration likely driven by acquisitions.

Equity expanded sharply from $11,572M in Q2 2024 to $23,775M in Q1 2026, more than doubling over six quarters.

Total debt jumped from $8,279M in Q2 2024 to $13,157M in Q4 2024 and has held near $13,000M through Q1 2026, elevating leverage.

Operating cash flow turned negative at -$426M in Q2 2025 before recovering to $957M in Q1 2026 — a volatile but improving trajectory.

Net income fell to $151M in Q4 2025 — the lowest in the dataset — despite rising revenue; margin compression warrants close monitoring.

Debt remains elevated near $12,873M–$13,108M; with equity rising, debt-to-equity is improving but leverage is still substantially higher than pre-Q4 2024.

The Q2 2025 operating cash outflow of -$426M amid strong revenue signals potential working capital or integration pressures to track.

AI Insight: AJG Ratio Trends

AJG shows strong Q1 seasonality with ROIC hitting 11.4% in Q1 2026, but trailing four-quarter profitability remains compressed by a weak Q4 2025.

Q1 seasonality is pronounced: OpMargin surged to 23.4% in Q1 2025 and 21.9% in Q1 2026, versus just 5.0% in Q4 2025.

ROIC in Q1 2026 reached 11.4%, up from 9.9% in Q1 2025, suggesting modest year-over-year first-quarter improvement.

Leverage has steadily declined: D/E fell from 0.72 in Q2 2024 to 0.54 in Q1 2026, strengthening the balance sheet.

TTM OpMargin of 13.6% and ROIC of 5.6% reflect drag from Q4 2025's 5.0% OpMargin and 2.0% ROIC — the weakest in the series.

Q4 2025 OpMargin collapsed to 5.0% and ROIC to 2.0% — monitor whether this deterioration recurs in Q4 2026.

ROA and ROE on a TTM basis (2.1% and 6.8%) remain well below Q1 2026 single-quarter annualized levels; watch for sustained improvement.
