Willis Towers Watson's Quarterly Earnings Preview: What You Need to Know

London-based Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (WTW) operates as an advisory, broking, and solutions company worldwide.

On June 2, WTW shares dipped marginally following the news of its acquisition of Redefind, an end-to-end web-based platform designed to facilitate access to insurance products for crypto and digital assets. This move by the company builds on its long-term strategy to enter next-generation protection solutions for clients exposed to digital finance, crypto ecosystems and tokenized asset environments. Investors, however, were not impressed by this acquisition, leading to another 2% decline in its shares in the following trading session.

Analysts are somewhat bullish about WTW, with the stock having a “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Among the 24 analysts covering the stock, 15 recommend a “Strong Buy,” one recommends a “Moderate Buy,” and 8 recommend a “Hold.” WTW’s average analyst price target is $332.19, indicating an upside of 13% from the current levels.
