Raymond James lowers Brown & Brown stock price target to $90 on valuation

Investing.com - Raymond James has lowered its price target on Brown & Brown (NYSE:BRO) to $90.00 from $120.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the insurance brokerage stock.

The price target reduction comes as Brown & Brown shares have fallen 35% below their 52-week high reached in April, according to Raymond James.

The firm notes that the stock is now trading near trough valuations on a next-twelve-months (NTM) PEG ratio of 1.4x compared to its 20-year average of 1.9x and a trough of 1.1x.

On a NTM PE basis, the stock trades at 17x versus its 20-year average of 21x and a trough of 13x, though Raymond James acknowledges the stock is less compelling on a NTM free cash flow yield basis at 6.3%.

The firm believes that at current trading levels, Brown & Brown’s board may reconsider its capital allocation strategy, potentially shifting from debt reduction plans toward more aggressive share repurchase activity.
