Brown & Brown Q2 2026: Revenue Surges 30% Despite Organic Dip
Brown & Brown posted $1.7B in Q2 revenue, up 30.4% year-over-year, but organic revenue slipped 0.7% as adjusted EPS rose to $1.07.

On the earnings front, the company posted adjusted diluted net income per share of $1.07, a 3.9% gain, while GAAP diluted EPS came in at $0.84, up 7.7% year-over-year.
