WTW Q2 Profit Drops 31% Despite 9% Revenue Growth
WTW sits 34% above its 52-week low of $240.615.
Summary
Willis Towers Watson reported Q2 GAAP net income of $229M ($2.43/share), down from $331M ($3.32/share) a year ago, while revenue rose 9.1% to $2.466B. Adjusted EPS came in at $3.35. The profit decline on higher revenue suggests margin compression, likely from rising costs or integration expenses. This is the first concrete earnings release in the timeline, following a series of product launches and strategic moves. The miss versus last year's profitability could pressure the stock as traders reassess near-term earnings power.
At the time of this announcement, WTW was trading at $323.00 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $29.8B. The 52-week trading range was $240.61 to $352.79.
