A fine-but-not-blowout ~5% brokerage organic print with optically soft reported margins/EPS growth (lost prior-year AP interest income) and accelerating property-rate declines gives buyers little to add to. Out-period math skews down: rate is only ~1pt of the ~5.5% organic outlook and property RPC is now down ~9-11%, so any hesitation on the 2H acceleration or 2027 pricing tone pulls estimates flat-to-lower even after an EPS beat, so the pre-print pop fades.",
