Marsh & McLennan (MMC) is seeing slower global growth in Q1, weighed down by its US business, Deutsche Bank said in a Tuesday note.
The investment firm said it also expects a weaker Q1 operating margin from the company's risk and insurance segment amid seasonal headwinds related to McGriff Insurance Services, which Marsh & McLennan completed acquiring in November last year.
Deutsche Bank said these factors led it to lower its Q1 operating earnings per share forecast for the company to $2.97 and organic growth expectations to 4.6% from 5.1%. The investment firm also cut its 2025 operating EPS forecast for Marsh & McLennan by 1.7% to $9.46.
Deutsche Bank raised its price target to $258 from $236 while maintaining its buy rating on the stock.
