Willis Towers Watson (ISIN IE00BDB6Q211) was at EUR 258.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 1:11 p.m. CEST. Barclays had raised its price target from USD 303.00 to USD 332.00 on October 7, 2026, while maintaining an equal weight rating, according to Markets Insider.

Barclays raises its target

The Barclays move is one of several recent revisions around WTW. The new USD 332.00 target remains below the average analyst target of USD 374.58 reported by Investing.com, placing the brokerage view below the broader published consensus.

Mizuho had taken the opposite direction on October 7, 2026, cutting its target from USD 380.00 to USD 349.00 while retaining an outperform rating, as reported by MarketBeat. The split between target changes gives investors a concrete measure of the disagreement over WTW's earnings and margin outlook.

Revenue grows while profit falls

WTW's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 2.47 billion, compared with USD 2.26 billion in the same quarter of 2025. The 9.10 percent increase came alongside net profit of USD 229.00 million, down from USD 331.00 million a year earlier, according to Markets Insider.

That combination matters more than revenue growth alone. WTW is expanding the top line, but the year-over-year decline in net profit means investors are also assessing expense control and operating leverage as the company approaches its next report.

Next report set for October 22

Willis Towers Watson is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker WTW, and the next earnings report is scheduled for October 22, 2026, according to Investing.com. The same listing page identifies the company with ISIN IE00BDB6Q211 and gives a 52-week range of USD 240.61 to USD 351.51.
