The deal aims to expand Aon's middle-market segment presence and is expected to create over $2.8 billion in value. However, it will be dilutive to adjusted EPS in 2025, breakeven in 2026, and accretive in 2027. Aon's shares dropped by 5.112% in premarket trading.

Aon plc is acquiring NFP for $13.4 billion, which is expected to be dilutive to its adjusted EPS in 2025 but accretive in 2027. Aon's stock fell by 5.112% in premarket trading.
The acquisition is significant for Aon, but the short-term dilutive effect on EPS and the substantial cash and stock funding have likely contributed to the negative investor sentiment, reflected in the premarket stock price drop.
