Allegion (ALLE) reported strong Q1 2025 revenue growth of 5.4%, exceeding expectations and boosting its stock price by 7.9% [1]. This positive performance follows a record year in 2024, although Q4 2024 results were mixed with an EBITDA miss [6]. Despite some concerns about slowing organic revenue growth [3] and recent stock underperformance [5], the company demonstrates strong momentum, particularly in the Americas [4]. Strategic acquisitions, new product announcements at ISC West 2025 [8], and a focus on returning value to shareholders through dividends [2] and share repurchases [4] position Allegion for continued growth. Some analysts see the stock as undervalued [7], with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) [7], [9], [10]. An insider stock sale by a senior officer was also reported [11].

Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC) reported Q1 2025 results with a slight dip in net income to $1.38 billion, but increases in operating income (to $2 billion) and revenue (up 9% to $7.1 billion) [1]. Subsidiaries Marsh and Guy Carpenter experienced strong revenue growth of 15% and 5% respectively [1]. The company also repurchased $300 million in stock and repaid $500 million in debt [1]. Prior to earnings, some analysts held a slightly negative outlook [3], but the actual results demonstrated growth in key metrics like underlying revenue, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EPS [1]. MMC continues its strategy of acquisitions, recently acquiring Arthur Hall Insurance, which expands its presence in Delaware and Pennsylvania [9], [10]. A shareholder proposal raises corporate governance concerns regarding the chair of the Governance Committee [11], while an insider stock sale by an officer was also reported [13]. Marsh also launched a new cyber insurance facility in Bermuda [2].

Prudential Financial (PRU) is underperforming the market, with stock down 16.2% [1], but the company maintains a positive growth outlook for 2025 and 2026 driven by retirement product demand and international presence [1]. PRU is urging shareholders to vote against separating the Chairman and CEO roles [2] and recently declared its 17th consecutive annual dividend increase [2]. Key developments include raising $2 billion for its Global Data Center Fund [4], appointing Oliver Nisenson to lead a new Asset-Based Finance platform within PGIM Fixed Income [3], and the upcoming Q1 2025 earnings release on April 30th [5]. While these strategic moves position PRU for long-term growth, potential headwinds include exposure to guaranteed minimum return products in a low-interest-rate environment [1] and challenges in the leveraged finance market due to recession fears [6].
