Omnicom Group (OMC) which holds the reputation as one of the largest advertising, marketing, and corporate communications companies, has recently been making headlines. FMI Large Cap Equity Strategy sold its 2.7% position in the company. However, OMC's stock seems popular amongst investors as represented by an increase in stock holdings by Meyer Handelman Co. While there are concerns about OMC's rising debt profile, there seems optimism as evidenced by its dividend declaration and earnings report for Q2 2024. Some concerns arise over a possible US TikTok ban and its impact on advertisers, OMC included. Despite fluctuating market performance, the company hit a new 1-year low. There's a continuing debate amongst investors whether OMC is undervalued and a good buy.
Acquisitions form much of OMC's strategy with an intent to expand marketing solutions. A merger with Interpublic as part of a $25.6B deal is noteworthy, creating an advertising giant. Still, OMC's stock underperforms when compared to competitors.
Shareholder returns dipped as yearly returns aligned with earnings growth. Yet, the company continues pursuit of
strategic expansions like the planned four Centers of Excellence in India. Despite the cyclical nature of its performance and speculations, analysts give OMC a moderate buy rating.
