Omnicom Group, Inc. (OMC)

CAPS Rating:

A holding company which provides professional services to clients through multiple agencies. Its agencies provide these services in the following disciplines: traditional media advertising, CRM, public relations and specialty communications.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Insiders are unloading this one and a lot of reshuffling seems to be in progress at management. Although, the s&p says it has a fair value of -$108- a few more dollars than its current price and it is trading below the avg. industry multiple so it would seem somewhat of a safe bet.

Recs 2 (OMC) redtee (22.49) Submitted: 6/10/07 8:35 AM : Start Price: $50.99 OMC Score: 0.44 Core business is now being challenged by IPG and other ad holding companies. However, it's proven to be resilient in holding on to its clients. It's pitching for the business of JNJ on a holding company basis against IPG, WPP, and Publicis. In the US, it has a strong chance of keeping it - and in China, a significant chance of winning the n-way pitch. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
