CHICAGO - Ryan Specialty (NYSE:RYAN), a leading international specialty insurance firm with a market capitalization of $17.79 billion and impressive revenue growth of 22.5% in the last twelve months, announced Tuesday it has completed the acquisition of J.M. Wilson Corporation (JM Wilson), a Michigan-based business.
The acquisition, which was initially announced on June 5, 2025, integrates JM Wilson’s operations into RT Binding Authority, Ryan Specialty’s binding authority division.
RT Binding Authority is described as one of the largest binding authority platforms in the nation, providing insurance agents and brokers with specialty coverage solutions. The division focuses on delivering E&S (excess and surplus) coverage for small and mid-sized accounts.
Ryan Specialty, founded in 2010, operates as a service provider of specialty products and solutions for insurance brokers, agents and carriers. The company functions as both a wholesale broker and a managing underwriter with delegated authority from insurance carriers. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains strong financial health with annual revenues of $2.59 billion and is expected to see continued net income growth this year.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed in the press release statement.
The completion of this acquisition represents the latest development in Ryan Specialty’s business operations as the company continues its activities in the specialty insurance sector.
In other recent news, Ryan Specialty reported first-quarter earnings that met expectations with adjusted earnings per share of $0.39. Revenue for the quarter increased by 25% year-over-year to $690.2 million, surpassing the consensus forecast of $683.49 million. Despite the revenue growth, the company experienced a net loss of $4.4 million, attributed mainly to higher income tax expenses following a legal entity reorganization. Organic revenue growth was reported at 12.9%, driven by new client wins and expanded relationships. In a separate development, Ryan Specialty has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire JM Wilson Corporation, a Michigan-based insurance firm, which is expected to enhance its Midwest presence and transportation insurance services by the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, Goldman Sachs upgraded Ryan Specialty’s stock rating from Neutral to Buy, raising the price target to $81.00, citing the company’s potential for organic growth, revenue expansion, and margin improvement.
