Citi analyst Michael Ward upgraded WTW to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $315, up from $236.

Citi sees WTW’s earnings guidance as embedding significant conservatism, with margins and buybacks the highest probability sources of upside. Either way, restoration of confidence is occurring and will drive durable valuation improvement, contends the firm.
