Model update: remain Neutral

We are updating our MMC model to reflect Q4 results, revenue trends and accounting guidance from management. As a result, our FY18 EPS forecast is largely unchanged and our FY19 EPS forecast increases by 1%. Strong revenue growth assumptions are largely offset by a slightly lower starting point for MMC's adjusted operating margin. There are also some slight changes to the quarterly pattern of revenues following some commentary by management but we will refine this once further detail is provided in March. Our valuation and price target increases slightly to $90 (from $88) as we roll forward our DCF-based valuation. We retain our Neutral recommendation.
