Aon (AON) Acquires Admix, Bolsters Footprint in Brazil
Read MoreHide Full Article
Aon Plc (AON - Free Report) recently announced that it has completed the acquisition of Brazilian benefits brokerage and solutions provider, Admix. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Aon stock has gained 0.21% since Nov 2016, when it made its decision to acquire Admix public. The Zacks categorized Insurance-Brokers industry has lost 0.87% in the same period. This price appreciation reflects shareholders’ optimism about the buyout. We expect the deal to solidify Aon’s presence in Brazil and help it benefit from the steadily growing private health insurance market.
Price Chart
Another reason behind this price appreciation might be the recent hike in interest rate that has made investors optimistic about insurance stocks like Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (HIG - Free Report) , Kemper Corporation (KMPR - Free Report) and Radian Group Inc. (RDN - Free Report) . This has also cast a ray of hope for Aon.
Admix has been serving clients in Brazil with health and benefits brokerage solutions for more than 25 years. The company presently has more than 1.4 million beneficiaries across approximately 6,700 companies of all industries. Its broker partners and clients are expected to continue to reap financial and operational benefits from a scaled operating platform as well as enhanced data & analytics capabilities.
Aon’s efforts to expand its capability and global footprint through tuck-in acquisitions in emerging markets has found favor with investors. In the fourth quarter, Aon announced its decision to purchase Stroz Friedberg to integrate two of the world's most highly skilled teams focused on cyber risk mitigation.
