AON - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy AON Stock? AON Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these AON pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

AON
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Aon plc:

Aon plc has a strong market capitalization of $77.52 billion, indicating a robust position in the market that can provide stability and growth potential for investors.
The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.675, which translates to an annualized dividend of $2.70 and a yield of 0.75%. This consistent dividend payment can be attractive for income-focused investors.
Recent analyst upgrades, such as Barclays raising the price target to $440.00, suggest positive market sentiment and potential for stock price appreciation.
The current stock price is $358.47, which is near its 52-week high of $395.33, indicating strong performance and investor confidence in the company's future prospects.
Aon plc's payout ratio is 22.78%, which is relatively low, suggesting that the company retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, potentially leading to future growth.

AON
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Aon plc for these reasons:

Insider selling activity, such as the COO selling 650 shares, may raise concerns about the company's future performance and could indicate a lack of confidence from those within the organization.
The stock has a relatively high P/E ratio of 30.25, which may suggest that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
Despite recent upgrades, one analyst has issued a sell rating, indicating that there are differing opinions on the stock's future performance.
The stock's beta of 0.91 suggests that it is less volatile than the market, which may limit potential gains during bullish market conditions.
Aon plc's debt-to-equity ratio of 2.66 indicates a high level of debt compared to equity, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns or rising interest rates.
