Mizuho Lowers PT on Willis Towers Watson (WTW), Keeps a Buy Rating

​Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (NASDAQ:WTW) is one of the Best Undervalued UK Stocks to Invest In. On February 27, Mizuho analyst Yaron Kinar lowered the firm’s price target on the stock from $392 to $358, while maintaining a Buy rating. Earlier, on February 26, Bob Huang from Morgan Stanley reiterated a Hold rating on Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (NASDAQ:WTW) and lowered the price target from $345 to $330.

​Yaron Kinar from Mizuho said in a research note that the price target adjustment is based on the recent selloff in the insurance property and casualty sector. The firm views AI as a low disruption threat for insurance brokerages such as Willis Towers Watson, which target middle-market and larger accounts. The firm noted that disintermediation risks from AI are instead concentrated in mass-market personal lines and small-to-medium enterprise (SME) segments.

​Similarly, Huang from Morgan Stanley noted that the updated price target follows the Q4 reports in the property and casualty insurance group. The firm believes that Insurers with differentiated underwriting performance are positioned to post stronger share price gains. The positive outlook for differentiated underwriters comes despite weak pricing and ongoing AI headwinds.
