Omnicom Nears Interpublic Deal Amid Mixed Q2 Results

Omnicom reported a 3% organic revenue growth for Q2 2025, with total revenue up 4.2% to $4.02 billion, surpassing expectations. Growth was driven by the Media & Advertising segment (up 8.2%) and Precision Marketing (up 5%), while Public Relations and Healthcare declined. The company maintained its full-year organic growth outlook of 2.5%-4.5% despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges. Omnicom moved closer to finalizing its acquisition of Interpublic Group, having secured 13 of 18 required regulatory approvals, including from the FTC. Analysts pointed out that Omnicom's reported organic growth includes pass-through costs, suggesting its net organic revenue may have been flat year-over-year. Company leadership remains optimistic about future growth following the merger.
