Aon Plc’s aggressive repurchase of equity securities presents a notable risk, with 805,001 shares bought back in the first quarter of 2024 at escalating average prices, indicating a potential impact on the company’s cash reserves and financial leverage. These transactions, part of a long-standing repurchase program, cumulatively nearing the $27.5 billion authorization limit, could signal a strategic move to enhance shareholder value, but also raise concerns about the sustainability of such buybacks and the opportunity cost of not investing in business growth or other strategic initiatives.

The average AON stock price target is $328.10, implying 15.11% upside potential.
