First Eagle Global Fund First Eagle Investment Management, LLC | “London-based Willis Towers Watson is one of the largest global insurance brokerage and consulting companies. The company continues to execute on its turnaround plan to improve profitability. The divestiture of its direct-to-consumer insurance distribution business at the end of 2024, however, caused a decline in cash flows for its most recent quarter and weighed on its shares. We like Willis Towers Watson's high customer retention and ability to participate in nominal economic drift, and we continue to believe that the company's turnaround plan will help drive growth and improve returns. BSD Analysis: WTW delivered around 5% organic revenue growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth in its most recent quarter, alongside expanding margins and improving free cash flow, reflecting successful execution of its turnaround agenda. The disposal of lower-margin direct-to-consumer operations temporarily reduced reported revenue but improves mix and strategic focus on higher-value advisory and broking. Shares trade at roughly the mid-teens P/E, a modest premium to traditional insurance brokers but below many global professional services peers, suggesting room for re-rating as margin expansion continues. With sticky client relationships, pricing benefits from nominal GDP growth and a cleaner portfolio, WTW offers a compelling compounder profile for long-term investors.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
