What to Expect From Willis Towers Watson's Next Quarterly Earnings Report

London, U.K.-based Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (WTW) is a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company. Its solutions include risk management, benefits optimization, and capability expansion. Valued at $30.4 billion by market cap, WTW operates through Risk & Broking and Health, Wealth & Career segments. The company is expected to announce its second-quarter results on Thursday, Jul. 24.

Ahead of the event, analysts expect WTW to deliver adjusted earnings of $2.66 per share, up 4.3% from $2.55 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. While the company has missed the Street’s bottom-line estimates once over the past four quarters, it has surpassed the expectations on three other occasions.

 

For the full fiscal 2025, WTW is expected to deliver an EPS of $16.55, down 2.2% from $16.93 reported in the previous year. While in fiscal 2026, its earnings are expected to rebound 14.1% year-over-year to $18.89 per share.

Willis Towers Watson’s stock prices declined 5.7% following the release of its lackluster Q1 results on Apr. 24. Its organic revenues for the quarter increased 5% but due to the sale of TRANZACT, WTW’s overall topline dropped by 5% year-over-year to $2.2 billion. This figure fell short of the Street’s expectations by a notable 3.9%. Furthermore, the company’s adjusted EPS for the quarter remained flat compared to the year-ago quarter at $ 3.13 and missed the consensus estimates by 2.2%, unsettling investor confidence.

Nevertheless, the stock holds a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Of the 19 analysts covering the WTW stock, opinions include 12 “Strong Buys,” one “Moderate Buy,” five “Holds,” and one “Strong Sell.” Its mean price target of $364.70 indicates an 18.9% upside potential from current price levels.
