With a market cap of $64.6 billion, Aon plc (AON) operates as a global leader in risk management, insurance brokerage, and human resource consulting services. Based in Dublin, Ireland, the company is expected to announce its fiscal Q2 earnings results on Friday, Jul. 26.
Ahead of this event, analysts anticipate AON to report a profit of $3.09 per share, up around 12% from the year-ago quarter's $2.76 per share. The company has a mixed earnings surprise history, having exceeded Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in one of the past four quarters while falling short on three other occasions. In the most recent quarter, the company missed the consensus EPS estimate by 3.4%, primarily due to challenges in its U.S. retail brokerage business.
