Willis Towers (WLTW) in Focus: Stock Moves 5.2% Higher

Zacks Equity Research

Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company WLTW was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company as the stock is now up 3.6% in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after a report that the company may be in preliminary talks for merger with Aon Plc. However, AON later stated that it has scrapped the plans to pursue the merger.

The company has seen seven negative estimate revisions in the past few weeks/months, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved lower over the past few weeks, suggesting there may be trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward, to see if this recent move higher can last.

Willis Towers currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
