Omnicom Group (OMC)
Forward P/E is 7.18x against a peer median of 22.40x, a ratio of 0.32x — far below the fair range — with trailing P/E 30.02x and PEG 0.63. Latest-quarter revenue grew 59.1% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), so revenue is not shrinking and the cluster median is positive; the value-trap check does not overturn the discount. Delivered demand check: the Interactive media & advertising group's median growth was 39.5% year over year — demand rising, and Omnicom grew faster than that median.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E rises to about 20.2x or above (0.90x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, or if revenue growth falls below 0% year over year for two quarters, which would make the low multiple look like a value trap. Move to OVERVALUED if the forward P/E rises above about 25.8x (1.15x the peer median) without a matching rise in growth.
Omnicom helps brands with advertising, marketing and communications. Its shares cost only about 7 times next year's expected profit, far less than similar companies at about 22 times, and its sales grew 59.1%. On these numbers the shares look undervalued, though that depends on the expected profit arriving.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window Omnicom Group returned +48.49% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Omnicom Group: -36.2% (2024-10-16 to 2026-02-12). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.
What the label rests on
Forward P/E is 7.18x against a peer median of 22.40x, a ratio of 0.32x — far below the fair range — with trailing P/E 30.02x and PEG 0.63. Latest-quarter revenue grew 59.1% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), so revenue is not shrinking and the cluster median is positive; the value-trap check does not overturn the discount. Delivered demand check: the Interactive media & advertising group's median growth was 39.5% year over year — demand rising, and Omnicom grew faster than that median. The company’s forward P/E is 7.2× against a peer median of 22.4×. Its own history: UNVERIFIED — no sourced range available. Sector demand read: Delivered demand check: the Interactive media & advertising group's median latest-quarter revenue growth was 39.5% year over year (SEC filings) — demand rising. Omnicom grew at 59.1%, above that median. Latest-quarter sales growth was +59.1% versus a year earlier (SEC filings).

Sales, profit and cash
This company does not report a gross-profit line in its SEC facts (normal for banks, payment networks and some health insurers), so profit is shown as net income instead — gross margin is marked UNVERIFIED-absent rather than estimated.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 25-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- Gross profit / gross margin: not tagged as a standalone line in this company's EDGAR company facts (common for banks, payment networks and some healthcare payers) — shown as UNVERIFIED-absent; the page charts revenue and net income instead.
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Own-history P/E range not yet compiled for this company in the Phase 1 batch run; the label rests on peer-median, growth and PEG evidence.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
