Willis Towers Watson stock (ISIN GB00BGSZ2X45) fell 1.79 percent to USD 293.63 on Nasdaq on September 24, 2026, with a session high of USD 303.98 and a low of USD 293.12. The move leaves the shares 16.76 percent below their 52-week high of USD 352.79.

Mizuho lowers its target

The clearest valuation counterpoint came from Mizuho on September 16, 2026. According to MarketBeat, the bank cut its price target from USD 406 to USD 380 while maintaining an Outperform rating.

The revised target stands 29.38 percent above the September 24 price. That gap keeps analyst expectations constructive, but the direction of the target change matters: Mizuho reduced its valuation marker by USD 26.

Q2 earnings beat estimates

Willis Towers Watson reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 2.47 billion and EPS of USD 3.35 on July 30, 2026. According to MarketBeat, EPS exceeded the USD 3.12 consensus estimate by USD 0.23, while revenue was up 9.1 percent from the comparable quarter.

The earnings mix gives the share-price move useful context. Finance data show second-quarter GAAP revenue of USD 2.466 billion, operating profit of USD 364 million and net income attributable to common shareholders of USD 229 million, with a 15 percent operating margin.

Stock remains below its yearly high

WTW carried a market capitalization of USD 27.27 billion on September 24, 2026. Its 52-week range of USD 240.61 to USD 352.79 places the reference price 22.04 percent above the low and 16.76 percent below the high.

For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: quarterly revenue growth and an earnings beat support the operating picture, while the Mizuho target reduction and the September 24 decline temper the valuation case.
