Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC Quick QuoteOMC - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 20, before the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 12.5%, on average.

Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3.35 billion, indicating 19.5% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. The top line is expected to predominantly reflect the impact of increase in organic revenues, resulting from revival in business activities from the coronavirus-induced lows. Favorable foreign-exchange movements are also expected to have positively impacted the top line.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.33 per share and calls for year-over-year increase of 44.6%, expectedly attributable to increase in operating profit. Prudent management of discretionary addressable spend cost categories and benefits from repositioning actions taken back in the second quarter of 2020 are likely to have benefited the company’s operating performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
