$AON 🧾
Buying growth can get expensive fast.
Aon fell about 6% after agreeing to buy insurance broker USI for
$17B using new debt. The deal expands its middle-market business, but investors carry the financing and integration risk before expected profit gains arrive in 2028.
$IAK holds AON with
$CB,
$PGR and
$TRV and is up about 9% YTD.
👀 Watch: Debt costs arrive before synergies.
