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 $29.4 billion by market cap, WTW operates through Risk & Broking and Health, Wealth & Career segments.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks." WTW fits the bill perfectly, showcasing its substantial size and influence in the insurance and risk management space.

Despite its strengths, the stock has plunged 13.5% from its all-time high of $344.14 touched on Mar. 4. Meanwhile, the stock has dropped 8.3% over the past three months, significantly underperforming the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLF) 4.1% gains during the same time frame.

The stock’s performance has remained grim compared to the financial sector over the longer term as well. WTW stock has dipped 4.9% on a YTD basis and gained 16.7% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming XLF’s 4.6% uptick in 2025 and 24.3% surge over the past 52 weeks.

To confirm its recent downturn, WTW stock dropped below its 50-day moving average in early April and below its 200-day moving average since the start of this month.

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.

Moreover, Willis Towers has significantly underperformed its peer, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.’s (AJG) 11.4% gains on a YTD basis and 22.5% surge over the past 52 weeks.

However, analysts remain optimistic about the stock’s long-term prospects. Among the 19 analysts covering the WTW stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $364.53 suggests a 22.4% upside potential from current price levels.
