Brown & Brown, Inc. is an insurance brokerage firm operating across the United States, Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, with segments spanning retail property and casualty coverage, specialty professional liability programs, and wholesale brokerage.

Brown & Brown, Inc. pays out 18.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low retention of earnings relative to the dividend means the company keeps substantial room to sustain payments even if profitability dips, supported by a business model built on recurring brokerage fees across retail, specialty, and wholesale insurance lines. The primary pressure on Brown & Brown, Inc. dividend safety is that the company's history contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, showing the payout is not unconditionally protected from restructuring.
Brown & Brown, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 4.6% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3125 to $0.6150 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 13.9% in 2025, demonstrating that growth, while moderate on average, is not uniformly slow.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +13.3% | $0.42 (2022) | $0.61 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +12.1% | $0.35 (2020) | $0.61 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +10.5% | $0.23 (2015) | $0.61 (2025) |
BRO fits dividend investors who value a low-risk payout structure over a high current income rate. The yield is low (below 2%), sitting at 1.0% today versus a 5-year average of 0.73%, so the current yield is actually above its own recent norm. The 18.3% payout ratio leaves the dividend well-covered by earnings, and six consecutive years of increases show a clear upward direction. The trade-off is straightforward: income from BRO stock is modest in dollar terms, but the insurance brokerage business model generates recurring fee revenue that underpins a conservative, growing payout.
BRO is a Dividend Aristocrat with 37 consecutive years of dividend increases.
