Willis Towers Watson (ISIN IE00BDB6Q211) enters its next reporting date after Wells Fargo cut its price target from USD 378.00 to USD 364.00 on October 12, 2026, while keeping an overweight rating, according to MarketBeat. The next test is the third-quarter report scheduled for October 29, 2026.
Analysts trim targets
The Wells Fargo move fits a mixed October pattern. Markets Insider reported that Barclays raised its target from USD 303.00 to USD 332.00 on October 7, 2026, while Mizuho cut its target from USD 380.00 to USD 349.00. Wells Fargo therefore sits between a constructive Barclays view and a more cautious Mizuho stance.
What does October 29 mean for revenue?
Revenue is the clearest operating checkpoint. Willis Towers Watson generated USD 2.47 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 2.26 billion a year earlier, a 9.10 percent increase. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 3.35 versus a USD 3.12 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. For the third quarter, the consensus calls for USD 2.45 billion in revenue and USD 3.59 adjusted earnings per share, versus USD 2.29 billion and USD 3.07 in the year-earlier quarter, respectively, as reported by MarketBeat.
Three steps since July
On July 30, 2026, Willis Towers Watson reported USD 2.47 billion in second-quarter revenue and USD 3.35 adjusted earnings per share. On October 7, 2026, Barclays lifted its target to USD 332.00 from USD 303.00. On October 12, 2026, Wells Fargo reduced its target to USD 364.00 from USD 378.00. The sequence leaves operating growth intact while analyst assumptions diverge.
Dates and valuation
Willis Towers Watson is scheduled to publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 29, 2026, before the US market opens, with the conference call set for 9:00 a.m. ET, according to MarketBeat. The company had a USD 29.3 billion market capitalization as of October 16, 2026. That combination makes the revenue outcome and the spread between analyst targets the next concrete reference points.
