International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Time Warner Cable Inc (TWC): Why Your Health Insurance Could Be “Exchanged” Soon

Page 2 of 2

Benefits consultant Towers Watson & Co (NYSE:TW) also looks to be a likely beneficiary from the private health insurance exchange trend. International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) went with the company’s Extend Health exchange for Big Blue retirees. Towers Watson also operates exchanges for active and part-time employees.

Investors don’t necessarily have to pick just one of these stocks. All three could emerge as winners with increased adoption of private exchanges. If you’re only interested in one, though, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (NYSE:MMC) will pay you the most to wait for these exchanges to really catch fire. The big insurance and consulting firm sports a 2.4% dividend yield. A decent dividend with an opportunity to capitalize on an emerging trend — now that’s something to tweet about.
