Willis Towers Watson plans to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.96 per share on July 15, following first-quarter 2026 results that showed an 8% year-over-year revenue increase to $2.4 billion. Adjusted earnings per share rose 19% to $3.72, and adjusted operating margin improved by 70 basis points to 22.3%. The company closed the quarter with $5.4 billion in cash, spent $88 million on dividends and $300 million on share repurchases, and aims for at least $1 billion in buybacks in 2026. CEO Carl Hess said investments in AI are driving client value and supporting confidence in full-year commitments.
