The CFO departure is a short-term overhang, but the reaffirmed guidance and strong EPS beat suggest underlying business momentum is intact. Watch for the permanent CFO appointment and any future guidance updates; the stock may trade range-bound until leadership clarity emerges.

Executive Summary
Aon announced the immediate departure of CFO Edmund Reese and appointment of Nadin Virani as Interim CFO, while reaffirming full-year 2026 guidance.
