Executive summary

Willis Towers Watson is a global advisory, broking and solutions company. Its insurance brokerage arranges property, casualty, liability and specialty cover for corporate clients, while its advisory teams work with employers on pensions, health and benefits, talent and reward, and investment strategy. Customers are mainly large and mid-sized companies and institutions, which hire it to manage their risks and their workforce costs.

WTW earns revenue mainly from fees and commissions: fees for consulting and administration, and commissions paid by insurers on the policies it places. The last twelve months produced $10.1 billion, and growth over the last three years was 3.1% a year. The operating margin is 22.2%, and the business earns a profit of 14% on the capital invested in it. It carries net debt of 2.2 times EBITDA. The company pays a dividend with a yield of 1.2%.

StocksXray gives Willis Towers Watson PLC an X-Ray Score of 43 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 23% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (58) and its weakest is dividends (27).

Our fair value blend is $386.75 (range $348.75 to $435.24). At $315.49 the stock trades 18% below that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
