The company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the last four reported quarters and beat thrice, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 0.5% on average.
Omnicom Group Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $6.09 billion, indicating an increase of 65% 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.
Gains from new businesses and extended contracts with firms such as American Express, Bayer, BBVA, PNY, Clarins, Mercedes, and NatWest are expected to have boosted sales volume. Additionally, the recent acquisition of the global advertising and marketing holding company, Interpublic, which brings highly complementary assets, enables the development of new products and services and expands opportunities, is anticipated to have contributed to the top line.
Technological advancement through the launch of next-gen platforms and operating systems, such as Omni+, and its integration with Acxiom's Real ID, Flywheel's Commerce Cloud, and Omnicom's proprietary data, is likely to have benefited the company in boosting sales volume in the quarter.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.91 per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 12.4%.
