Omnicom (OMC) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC - Free Report) is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2022 results on Oct 18, after 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.

Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.34 billion, indicating a 2.6% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The top line is expected to predominantly reflect the impact of the decrease in acquisition revenues, net of disposition revenues.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.64 per share, implying a marginal year-over-year decline. Weak operating performance is likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the quarter.
