Crawford targets 10% International margin as weather claims ease

Crawford & Company reported solid second-quarter 2026 results, driven by weather-related claims volume in International and growth in its Broadspire segment, with management targeting an International operating margin near 10%. The quarter delivered the best overall operating earnings since the third quarter of 2023, supported by a dividend hike and strong segment trends, though weather carryover volumes are beginning to wind down. Management highlighted Broadspire's continued growth as a key contributor, while the International segment benefited from elevated weather claims activity that is expected to moderate in coming periods.
