Qualitative Analysis
BRO is a 70 year old company, and is in top 10 independent insurance intermediaries in US. Its growth model consists of growing market share by acquisition of insurance agencies.
Brown and Brown Inc is stable and slow growth mid-cap company. It is expected to continue to have a sustainable cash flow over next few years. It is typical dividend growth company where dividends grow in excess of 10%. However, the dividends yields are less than 2%. The stock’s current risk-to-dividend rating is 1.57 (low risk). The current pricing of $19.8 is within my buy range. I would be open to initiating a position based my allocation levels.
Full Disclosure: No position at the time of this writing. I may buy in near future.
