Bob Huang has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Willis Towers Watson. The company’s organic growth appears stable, supported by demand outside North America and increased business activities in certain segments. However, the firm faces challenges from pricing pressures and an uncertain macroeconomic environment, which could impact future performance.
Despite maintaining its 2025 guidance for growth and margin expansion, there are concerns about rising salaries and benefits expenses, which exceeded expectations. Additionally, while share repurchases were higher than anticipated, the company’s future capital allocation remains subject to market conditions. These mixed signals contribute to the Hold rating, as the company must balance growth with improving margins.
