Willis Towers Watson’s $400 Million AI Savings Plan — Can Margins Reach 30%?

Willis Towers Watson (WTW) reported its second quarter 2026 financial results marked by moderate organic revenue growth, expansion in operating margins, and a notable increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share compared to the prior year. The company achieved 5% organic growth enterprise-wide, with particularly strong performance in the Risk & Broking (R&B) segment, which grew organically by 7%. This segment benefited from broad-based strength across geographies and specialty lines, especially in North America’s construction, natural resources, surety, and M&A sectors, despite a competitive pricing environment and generally declining insurance rates. Insurance Consulting and Technology (ICT) also contributed with 6% organic growth, largely driven by strong software sales and multiyear contract wins. The Health, Wealth & Career (HWC) segment posted 4% organic revenue growth, aligning with expectations, mainly powered by solid health business growth at 8%.
