Willis Towers Watson (ISIN IE00BDB6Q211) is trading at EUR 281.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 1:35 p.m. CEST, while Wells Fargo cut its target from USD 378.00 to USD 364.00 on October 12, 2026. The rating stayed Overweight, according to Markets Insider.
Targets move lower before results
The Wells Fargo decision came amid a broader run of target changes. Its USD 14.00 reduction followed Bank of America's cut from USD 381.00 to USD 365.00, also dated October 12, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The competing views leave execution and earnings delivery as the immediate tests for the stock.
What does the operating plan mean?
WTW entered the results period with a stronger top line but uneven earnings conversion. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue was USD 2.47 billion, up from USD 2.26 billion a year earlier, while net income was USD 229.00 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached USD 3.35, a 17 percent increase from the second quarter of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. Management also described 5 percent organic growth and a 19.5 percent adjusted operating margin for the quarter.
Three events shape the setup
On July 30, 2026, WTW reported second-quarter revenue of USD 2.47 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.35. On October 12, 2026, Wells Fargo lowered its target from USD 378.00 to USD 364.00 while keeping an Overweight rating. On October 12, 2026, Bank of America lowered its target from USD 381.00 to USD 365.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating.
Dates for the next decision
WTW is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results before the market opens on October 29, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That release will show whether the second-quarter revenue expansion can continue while target reductions keep attention on margins and execution.
