Aon PLC A

Aon confirmed a $17.0 billion all-cash purchase of USI from KKR financed with new debt and expects $395 million in annual run-rate synergies and adjusted EPS accretion in 2028. The deal gives Aon a larger U.S. middle-market platform but increases leverage and delays share buybacks while integration and execution risk remain. Hedge fund ownership of both Aon and KKR has fallen in recent quarters, with some funds citing insurance-market softness and private-credit concerns despite KKR realizing significant proceeds from the USI exit. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
