Brown & Brown, Inc. (BRO) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $74.01 the price implies 28.3% a year of dividend growth, at a 9.0% cost of equity.

The dividend a share grew 10.4% a year over the last ten years, 11.1% over the last five. The price asks for about three times its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 13.8% over ten years; the price implies 14.9% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 26.4% a year; Brown & Brown, Inc. went on to grow the dividend a share 16.2% a year to FY2025.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ the dividend a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · Dividends
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in the dividend. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies the dividend a share growing 28.3% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
