How are energy investors positioned?
DUBLIN - Aon plc (NYSE:AON), a $79 billion market cap insurance and consulting giant with a strong track record of dividend payments for 46 consecutive years, announced Monday a strategic investment in eMed Population Health, Inc., a provider of GLP-1 therapy programs for weight management. The investment aims to enhance employer-sponsored access to these therapies. According to InvestingPro analysis, Aon currently trades near its Fair Value, demonstrating the company’s solid market positioning.
The partnership follows Aon’s implementation of eMed’s GLP-1 weight management program for its U.S. workforce earlier this year. According to the company, the program has shown positive results with more than 1,200 registrants, an average weight loss of 22.4 pounds per participant, and a 95 percent retention rate over six months. This initiative aligns with Aon’s robust financial performance, featuring 18.3% revenue growth over the last twelve months and maintaining a healthy current ratio of 1.03.
"This strategic investment in eMed enables our firm to have an active role in offering a global solution that is focused on medication adherence that will be differentiated in the marketplace," said Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer for Aon.
eMed’s platform combines at-home diagnostics, proctor-led screenings, clinician-guided prescribing, and adherence support. With this investment, the company plans to expand its provider network and behavioral health tools.
Linda Yaccarino, CEO of eMed Population Health, Inc., described the partnership as "a win for both payers and participants."
In April, Aon released findings from a multi-year analysis of U.S. commercial health claims data regarding GLP-1 medications for obesity management.
"We know that GLP-1s are not a one size fits all strategy," said Farheen Dam, Head of Health for North America at Aon.
The financial terms of the investment were not disclosed in the press release statement.
