Brown & Brown is a well-managed company that has weather the soft market better than most. Assuming we're on the tail end of the soft market, I see Brown & Brown gaining organic pricing power in the next year. That said, Brown & Brown has historically grown by acquisition anyway, and smaller agencies and brokerages that are taking a serious hit from soft prices should make for accretive acquisition opportunities in the near term.
