Brown & Brown earnings increased in the third quarter of 2026, with net income attributable to shareholders reaching $240 million, up from $227 million a year earlier. Revenue totaled $1.725 billion, compared with $1.606 billion in the same quarter of 2025, in the quarterly filing released October 26.

Key Takeaways

  • Third-quarter revenue and net income both increased from a year earlier.
  • Nine-month revenue reached $5.302 billion, compared with $4.295 billion in 2025.
  • Long-term debt stood above its year-end 2025 level.

Brown & Brown earnings show higher revenue and profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the insurance broker reported diluted earnings per share of $0.67. The higher net income accompanied revenue growth, although the available figures do not isolate the contributions from acquisitions, existing operations or changes in expenses.

For the first nine months of 2026, revenue totaled $5.302 billion, up from $4.295 billion in the corresponding 2025 period. That cumulative result covers a different reporting window from the third-quarter figures and should be assessed separately.

Retail accounts for most quarterly business

Brown & Brown operates through Retail and Specialty Distribution. Retail, which offers property and casualty insurance, employee benefits and personal lines insurance, generated $1.5 billion in quarterly commissions and fees.

Specialty Distribution, including wholesale brokerage and program management, generated $225 million in quarterly revenue. International operations contributed $207 million; that geographic figure is a separate view of the business, not an additional operating segment.

Debt rises following an earlier acquisition

Long-term debt reached $7.346 billion, compared with $6.894 billion at the end of 2025. The balance-sheet increase is distinct from the improvement in quarterly profit; the supplied figures do not establish what drove the debt change.

Brown & Brown’s completion of the Accession acquisition occurred on August 1, 2025. The transaction involved RSC Topco, the holding company for Accession Risk Management Group. That announcement confirms the deal’s completion, but does not establish its contribution to the September 2026 results.
