Interpublic Group (IPG)

Interpublic has announced its first quarter 2025 results: https://lnkd.in/e9aXwDqW “Results in the first quarter were consistent with our expectations. As we previously indicated, account activity over the prior twelve-month period will weigh on this year, though that impact was lessened in the quarter by sound underlying performance, with notable growth at IPG Mediabrands, Deutsch and Golin, as well as growth at Acxiom. Financial discipline remained strong, evidenced by our 9.3% adjusted EBITA margin in our smallest seasonal quarter.” — Interpublic CEO Philippe Krakowsky Join our 1Q25 earnings webcast this morning at 8:30am ET: https://lnkd.in/eDXqbRdq
