  • Willis Towers Watson Valuation Post-Move: Fair Value Around $369 vs $329 Close
    January 17, 2026, 1:17 PM EST. Willis Towers Watson (WTW) drew fresh attention after a recent price move. The stock closed at $329.41. The one-day gain was 0.28%, with a year-to-date return of 0.96% and five-year TSR of 70.38%, suggesting longer-term momentum. A fair-value view places WTW at about $369.16 per share, implying the stock is undervalued relative to current levels. The market trades at a P/E ratio of 14.9x, above the US Insurance sector 12.8x but below the peer average of 29.5x, signaling limited further upside if earnings slip. The case rests on growth in advisory demand, recurring fee streams, and higher earnings in the mid-term, supported by disciplined costs, divestitures, and investments in high-growth regions. Risks include tougher competition, integration costs, and margin pressures.
