Brown & Brown (NYSE: BRO) has released its 2026 Market Trends Report, indicating a shift towards a buyer’s market in commercial insurance due to softer rates, increased capacity, and heightened carrier competition. The report, which also incorporates insights from Risk Strategies after its 2025 acquisition, suggests that well-prepared buyers with positive claims histories are in a strong position. However, persistent large-scale loss events and catastrophe-exposed regions continue to face challenging underwriting conditions and pricing pressures.
