Valued at $15 billion by market cap, New York-based Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC) operates as one of the largest advertising, marketing and corporate communications companies in the world. Omnicom offers a wide range of services and its operations span the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

The company has significantly underperformed the broader market over the past year. OMC stock has tanked 20.4% over the past 52 weeks and 10.5% on a YTD basis, compared to the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 12.5% gains over the past year and 1.3% returns in 2025.

Narrowing the focus, Omnicom has also underperformed the sector-focused Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF Fund’s (XLC) 23.4% surge over the past 52 weeks and 5.1% gains on a YTD basis.

Despite delivering better-than-expected financials, Omnicom Group’s stock prices dropped 7.3% in the trading session after the release of its Q1 results on Apr. 15. Driven by notable growth in organic revenues, the company’s topline inched up 1.6% year-over-year to $3.7 billion, exceeding the Street’s expectations by a thin margin. Meanwhile, its adjusted EBITA increased by 1.6% year-over-year to $508.2 million, and its adjusted EPS grew 1.9% year-over-year to $1.70, surpassing the consensus estimates by 4.3%.

However, due to the increased macro and geopolitical volatility, Omnicom remains uncertain about the implications of unknown economic and market events on its clients’ businesses. This has raised concerns regarding Omnicom's own performance for the remainder of FY 2025.

For the full FY 2025, ending in December, analysts expect OMC to deliver a modest 1.7% year-over-year growth in adjusted EPS to $8.20. On a positive note, the company has a robust earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street’s bottom-line projections in each of the past four quarters.

Among the 11 analysts covering the OMC stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on six “Strong Buys,” four “Holds,” and one “Moderate Sell” rating.

This configuration is slightly more bullish than two months ago, when only five analysts gave “Strong Buy” recommendations.

On Apr. 17, Barclays (BCS) analyst Julien Roch reiterated an “Overweight” rating on OMC, but lowered the price target from $110 to $105.

As of writing, Omnicom’s mean price target of $97.78 represents a notable 27% premium to current price levels, while its street-high target of $120 suggests a staggering 55.9% upside potential.
