Yahoo Finance Omnicom (OMC) to Report Q1 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?
Omnicom Group Inc. OMC is scheduled to report first-quarter 2019 results on Apr 16, before market open. Shares of the company have gained 5.3% over the past year against the industry’s decline of 14.1%.
How Things are Shaping Up?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.5 billion, indicating a 4.5% decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. The top line is expected to be hurt by a decrease in acquisition revenues, net of disposition revenues, which is likely to be partially offset by higher organic revenue growth.
