Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE:OMC)?

Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE:OMC) led the NYSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine Omnicom Group’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity.

Is Omnicom Group Still Cheap?

Good news, investors! Omnicom Group is still a bargain right now. My valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $124.38, but it is currently trading at US$84.06 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Another thing to keep in mind is that Omnicom Group’s share price may be quite stable relative to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range again.

What kind of growth will Omnicom Group generate?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. Though in the case of Omnicom Group, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 5.6%, which doesn’t help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn’t appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for the company, at least in the near term.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Even though growth is relatively muted, since OMC is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on OMC for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its future outlook isn’t fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it’s not too late to buy OMC. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed investment decision.
