Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Willis Towers outperformed the industry year to date. Willis Towers is set to deliver long-term shareholder value via incremental revenue growth, cost synergies, and tax efficiencies, besides unlocking balance sheet capacity. Focus on realizing operational efficiencies, investing in new growth avenues and strengthening its client services bode well. The legacy companies, acquired from buyouts over the last few years, will combine forces and leverage strengths to penetrate deeper into markets, and expand international presence. However, escalating expenses, rising debt level, and adverse forex remain concerns. Our proven model does not conclusively show that the company is likely to beat on earnings when it reports on Aug 3. While a Zacks Rank #3 increases the predictive power of ESP, an Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes prediction difficult." (7/27/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "Management's 25% EBITDA goal is getting harder to achieve and 2017 organic growth guidance requires an uptick in 90%+ of WLTW's businesses. However, against that backdrop, sentiment has been and remains low. Downside is limited, in our view, while the bull case calls for upside to 2018 consensus EPS and multiple expansion. We reduce our EPS and PT, but maintain our Buy on risk/reward skewed to the positive." (2/9/2017)
