Is Wall Street Bullish or Bearish on Willis Towers Watson Stock?![]() London, the United Kingdom-based Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (WTW) operates as an advisory, broking, and solutions company worldwide. Valued at $30.6 billion by market cap, the company provides a range of insurance brokerage, reinsurance, and risk management consulting services. Shares of this leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company have outperformed the broader market over the past year. WTW has gained 22.4% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 10.2%. However, in 2025, WTW’s stock fell 1.4%, compared to the SPX’s 1.3% dip on a YTD basis. Zooming in further, WTW’s outperformance is also apparent compared to the SPDR S&P Insurance ETF (KIE). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 14.4% over the past year. However, the ETF’s 2.1% returns on a YTD basis outshine the stock’s dip over the same time frame. ![]() On Apr. 24, WTW shares closed down more than 5% after reporting its Q1 results. Its revenue stood at $2.2 billion, down 5% year over year. The company’s adjusted EPS of $3.13 remained flat year over year. For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect WTW’s EPS to decline 1.5% to $16.68 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on another occasion. Among the 20 analysts covering WTW stock, the consensus is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on 13 “Strong Buy” ratings, one “Moderate Buy,” five “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.” ![]() This configuration is more bullish than three months ago, with 12 analysts suggesting a “Strong Buy.” On May 13, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) analyst Robert Cox kept a “Buy” rating on WTW and lowered the price target to $381, implying a potential upside of 23.3% from current levels. The mean price target of $364.44 represents a 17.9% premium to WTW’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $408 suggests a notable upside potential of 32%.
