The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 3.5% on average.
Q4 Expectations for OMC
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $4.5 billion, indicating an increase of 4.2% year over year. The top line is expected to have been positively impacted by the shared revenues from the varied breadth of OMC’s offerings. Recent acquisitions, such as Interpublic, a global advertising and marketing holding company that brings highly complementary assets, enabling the development of new products and services and expanding opportunities, are anticipated to have contributed to the top line.
Additionally, technological advancement through the launch of next-gen platforms and operating systems such as Omni+, which unifies unparalleled data assets by covering campaign performance, consumer behaviors, demographic insights, transaction intelligence and cultural and social indicators, is likely to have benefited the company in boosting sales volume in the quarter.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $2.72 per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 12.9%. We expect increasing collective operating income to have benefited the bottom line in the quarter.
