Frequently asked questions
What is Willis Towers Watson PLC's revenue?
Willis Towers Watson PLC's trailing twelve-month revenue is $9.90B, and consensus projects about $13.09B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is WTW?
In its most recent fiscal year, WTW ran a gross margin of 42.06%, an operating margin of 23.01%, and a net margin of 16.53%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does WTW generate?
WTW produced $1.55B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is WTW's balance sheet healthy?
WTW holds $3.13B in cash and equivalents against $5.76B in long-term debt, on $7.98B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
