Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Meyer Shields raised the price target on Arthur J. Gallagher (NYSE: AJG) to $295.00 (from $286.00) while maintaining a Market Perform rating.

The analyst commented: "Raising EPS and TP on Higher Brokerage Earnings; We maintain our Market Perform rating on AJG’s shares and raise our target price to $295 (21.9x our 2026E operating cash EPS) from $286 following its 4Q24 earnings report and conference call. We raise our 2025E/2026E operating cash EPS to $11.60/$13.45 from $11.50/$13.40, assuming higher Brokerage revenue growth and margins, partly offset by lower Risk Management organic growth and margins. We believe the shares’ current valuation fairly reflects AJG’s consistently excellent execution and continued prospects for organic and inorganic growth."
