Carillon Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund stated the following regarding Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RYAN) is a leading insurance broker specializing in excess and surplus lines (E&S) insurance. While first-quarter results exceeded expectations, the stock delivered lackluster results due to a slightly disappointing quarterly margin and investor concerns over a potentially challenging internal growth comparison in the second quarter. We view the margin miss as temporary and anticipate margin expansion throughout the remainder of the year and beyond. Additionally, while shorter-term property pricing pressures persist, we believe they will be outweighed over time by the outsized organic growth expected in the E&S market.”
