-- 獨立研究機構CFRA向提供了以下研究報告。 CFRA分析師的觀點摘要如下：AJG第一季調整後每股盈餘為4.47美元，高於去年同期的3.72美元，低於我們先前4.56美元的預期，但高於市場普遍預期的4.43美元。第一季營收成長28%，超過我們先前12%-18%的預期，主要得益於收購，但公司整體5%的內生成長低於我們先前7%-10%的預期。我們認為AJG是業界整合能力較強的公司之一，但投資人對這種收購策略固有的執行風險日益擔憂。管理階層依然保持樂觀，並強調本季是AJG連續第24季實現兩位數的調整後EBITDAC成長。第一季利潤率表現喜憂參半。受上年同期AssuredPartners融資收益的影響，經紀業務調整後EBITDAC利潤率下降320個基點至40.1%；而風險管理業務利潤率則上升130個基點至21.7%。 AJG第一季完成9項收購，總價值5,900萬美元，而上年同期完成11項收購，總價值1.01億美元。我們預計，收購仍將是AJG未來成長策略的核心。
