Is Brown & Brown (BRO) Undervalued Following Its Canada Partnership Expansion?

Why Brown & Brown’s Canada Move Matters For Investors

Brown & Brown (BRO) is getting wider access to Canadian commercial real estate investors after Marcus & Millichap expanded their Preferred Partner relationship across the border on 8 October 2026.
