The market expects Expro Group Holdings (XPRO - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 5. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis oil and gas pipe provider is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -128%.

Revenues are expected to be $362 million, down 7.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 46.15% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Expro Group Holdings?For Expro Group Holdings, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Expro Group Holdings will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Expro Group Holdings would post earnings of $0.21 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.21, delivering no surprise.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Expro Group Holdings doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerWilliams Companies, Inc. (The) (WMB - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Oil and Gas - Production and Pipelines industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $0.64 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +6.7%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $3.34 billion, up 9.7% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for The Williams Companies has been revised 0.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.56%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggests that The Williams Companies will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expro Group Holdings N.V. (NYSE: XPRO) (the “Company” or “Expro”) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement under which Expro will acquire Enhanced Well Technologies Group AS (“Enhanced Drilling”) for approximately 2 billion Norwegian kroner (“NOK”) in cash plus customary closing and working capital adjustments. The Company also announced its financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Acquisition Highlights

Expro expands its high technology-based service offerings by adding managed pressure drilling (“MPD”) solutions to the portfolio Immediately accretive to cash flow and adds approximately $275 million of order backlog Purchase price of approximately 2 billion NOK in cash (approximately $215 million) Projected full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1 greater than $50 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin1 greater than 30% Purchase price to be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under revolving credit facility Acquisition expected to close during the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Revenue was $368 million Net loss of $1 million Adjusted EBITDA1 of $63 million with an Adjusted EBITDA margin1 of 17.1% Cash flow from operations of $25 million, or 7% of revenues Adjusted free cash flow1 of $3 million Share repurchases of approximately $20 million (1.2 million shares at an average $16.52 per share) Announced proposal to redomicile from the Netherlands to the Cayman Islands Liquidity at the end of the quarter stood at $517 million Michael Jardon, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are excited to announce the proposed acquisition of Enhanced Drilling and look forward to welcoming its employees into the Expro family. Enhanced Drilling will add industry leading managed pressure drilling technologies in both riserless and riser-based applications to Expro’s suite of innovative technologies and expand Expro’s service and solution offerings related to customers’ drilling and completion activities. We look forward to leveraging Enhanced Drilling’s expertise, technologies and customer relationships with our own to drive further growth in the future.

“For our first quarter, the financial results were impacted by the typical seasonality we experience due to inclement weather, particularly in the North Sea and the Gulf of America, and lower customer budgetary spending at the beginning of the year. In terms of capital allocation during the quarter, Expro maintained its very strong balance sheet and invested $26 million in capital expenditures funding high return projects. Additionally, the Company repurchased approximately $20 million or 1.2 million shares, again making significant progress on its 2026 goal of returning at least one-third of its free cash flow to shareholders.

“The end of the quarter was marked by geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East that threatens the near-term global supply-demand balance for crude oil and natural gas, which could have broad reaching consequences and has certainly added to the volatility in the market. I am thankful to report that all our employees continue to be safe, but we remain vigilant about the evolving developments in the region. Specifically with respect to our MENA geographic segment, there is a relative balance between our Middle East and North Africa operations with our North Africa operations not being impacted by the tenuous situation in the Middle East. A small portion of our Middle East operations have been affected with relatively minor impacts on our first quarter financial results. Presently there still is a significant amount of uncertainty surrounding the geopolitical tensions in the region and the extent and timing of operations becoming more normalized.

“Outside the current disruption in the Middle East, the financial results for our remaining global operations were largely in line with expectations. Moving forward, the outlook for the medium-to-long-term for our business is increasingly positive. I believe there will be increased emphasis on re-establishing and then building additional strategic reserves and an intensification and prioritization of energy security going forward all of which should create additional demand for our services across the well lifecycle. We remain optimistic about 2026 and while the disruptions in the Middle East may serve to taper some of our near-term financial results, we still anticipate making further progress towards our longer-term strategic goals with efforts focused on the expansion of our EBITDA margin and free cash flow generation.”

Free Cash Flow and Share Repurchases

Expro generated $25 million in net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2026. This was lower than anticipated as we experienced approximately $20 million of unfavorable changes in working capital during the quarter due in part to the conflict in the Middle East. This is merely timing related and Expro continues to expect a strong adjusted free cash flow year. In fact, we have already experienced improvement in working capital balances based on first quarter-related collections received early in the second quarter of 2026. We are anticipating strong collections in the second quarter. After capital expenditures of $26 million, Expro generated $(0.5) million of free cash flow and $3 million of Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter of 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares at an average price of $16.52, resulting in approximately $20 million of share repurchases. For the full year 2026, Expro remains committed to utilizing at least 33% of the free cash flow generated for capital returns to shareholders.

Additionally, Expro remains focused on generating free cash flow, and we expect to continue to do so by further expanding the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA margin and reducing the capital intensity of the business. Management continues to believe that adjusted free cash flow better reflects the Company’s performance by excluding one-time items, in line with corporate finance principles.

Financial Guidance

For 2026, we are reaffirming our full year guidance as we see sequential increases in our quarterly results throughout the year. For the quarter ahead we do anticipate some minor headwinds from the recent Middle East disruptions which we expect to equate to roughly $10 million to $15 million in revenue impact with fairly high decrementals.

For the second half of 2026, we believe the current industry optimism is tangible, and we remain constructive and confident in the ramp in our projected revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. The sequential increases we see in our business are driven by: 1) our NLA segment with subsea well access and well flow management work in the Gulf of America, tubular sales, and well intervention and integrity work in Colombia, 2) our MENA segment with a return to more normalized operations in the Middle East and a sizeable production solutions project in North Africa, 3) our APAC region with well construction and well flow management projects in southeast Asia, accompanied by subsea equipment sales in China and 4) additional contributions from our Coretrax acquisition across our geographic regions. Collectively, these identifiable projects and opportunities represent over 85% of the revenue increase we anticipate during the second half of the year.

While we currently do not anticipate the disruptions in our Middle East operations will extend beyond the second quarter of 2026, there can be no assurance that these disruptions will not continue beyond that period. The guidance below represents our expectations as of the date of this release and excludes Enhanced Drilling. The Company will provide updated guidance, inclusive of Enhanced Drilling, after the acquisition closes.

Enhanced Drilling Acquisition

Enhanced Drilling is a leading provider of next-generation drilling solution technologies. Specializing in managed pressure drilling, the company is headquartered in Bergen, Norway and has an impressive track record with over 1,000 wells drilled utilizing its technologies. Enhanced Drilling has multiple riserless and riser-based solutions that provide customers with better overall well economics – its solutions reduce risk, increase reliability and consistency, which drive cost effectiveness. We believe this MPD technology leads the industry and as part of Expro, we intend to increase its market penetration utilizing a similar strategy of globalizing acquired technologies and services. Currently, Enhanced Drilling primarily operates offshore Norway and in the Gulf of America and sees growth opportunities in other deepwater regions around the world such as Brazil, West Africa and Australia. Furthermore, this acquisition comes at a time where we believe that a more conducive and constructive offshore drilling market will develop over the next few years.

Under the terms of the agreement, Expro will acquire Enhanced Drilling for approximately 2.0 billion NOK in cash, or approximately $215 million based on current exchange rates, plus customary closing and working capital adjustments. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

Notable Awards and Achievements

Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

Expro deployed its MultiTrace™ gas tracing technology to enable accurate flow measurement on a large-diameter flare system, overcoming significant process challenges caused by highly transient flow conditions and fluctuating gas consumption.

This technology is non-intrusive with zero operational disruption and provides flow measurement with modifications to existing pipe infrastructure. North and Latin America (NLA)

In Argentina, Expro successfully deployed its QPulse™ technology, providing real-time insight into how a well is producing, helping operators optimize production without interfering with ongoing operations. Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)

In Norway, Expro successfully delivered a world first fully remote completion joint makeup with a downhole control line and clamp without a single person in the ‘red zone’. The combination of these disruptive technologies enhances safety, increases execution and efficiency and delivers consistent and repeatable outcomes. Expro completed the EWT (extended well test) project in Kazakhstan, supporting early monetization of oil and gas production in extreme winter conditions. Asia Pacific (APAC)

In Indonesia, Expro deployed its Blackhawk Cement Head with Skyhook with a customer enabling a remote cement line makeup, removing the need for manual involvement on the rig floor that deliver safer, faster and more efficient cementing operations. In Australia, Expro entered into a six-year framework agreement to deliver Reline RNS casing patch solutions across 100+ wells per year in the Surat Basin, that is expected to increase well integrity thereby extending the economic value of the field life. Technologies

Expro launched Solus™, a single shear-and-seal valve that replaces conventional two-valve subsea well access systems. This technology reduces the complexity, operational risk, time and cost during subsea intervention and decommissioning work. Expro’s iTong™ has reached a significant industry milestone, successfully running and pulling over 1,200,000 ft of casing and tubing in field operations since it was first deployed. This achievement underscores the iTong’s™ growing momentum in the market, with an increasing number of clients adopting the technology and experiencing its operational, safety, and performance advantages. Other Financial Information

As of March 31, 2026, Expro’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, totaled $171 million, and the Company’s total liquidity stood at $517 million. Total liquidity includes $346 million available for drawdowns as loans under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company had outstanding long-term borrowings of $79 million as of March 31, 2026.

The Company’s capital expenditures totaled $26 million in the first quarter of 2026, of which approximately 90% were used for the purchase and manufacture of equipment to directly support already contracted customer-related activities and approximately 10% for other property, plant and equipment, inclusive of software costs.

After the share repurchases during the first quarter of 2026, the Company has approximately $80 million remaining under its current Board of Directors share repurchase authorization to acquire up to $100 million of outstanding shares.

On April 1, 2026, Expro’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to change the Company’s corporate domicile from the Netherlands to the Cayman Islands (the “Redomicile”). The proposal related to the Redomicile will be voted upon during the Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting scheduled for June 10, 2026, and subject to shareholder and other customary approvals, the Redomicile is expected to be completed in July 2026. The Redomicile is expected to simplify the Company’s corporate structure resulting in (1) a reduction in administrative and regulatory costs, (2) afford the Company improved operational and tax efficiencies, and (3) provide a more favorable corporate structure for possible future merger and acquisition opportunities.

Segment Results

Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion compares the quarterly results for the first quarter of 2026 to the results for the fourth quarter of 2025.

North and Latin America (NLA)

Revenue for the NLA segment was $128 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $2 million, or 2%, compared to $130 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower well flow management revenue in Guyana and reduced well construction revenue in the U.S. and Brazil, partially offset by higher subsea well access revenue in the U.S. and increased well flow management revenue in Mexico.

Segment EBITDA for the NLA segment was $26 million, or 20% of revenues, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $6 million, or 18%, compared to $32 million, or 24%, of revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was primarily attributable to a less favorable activity mix during the quarter.

Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA)

Revenue for the ESSA segment was $114 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $2 million, or 2%, compared to $116 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower well flow management revenue in Angola and Bulgaria and lower subsea well access and well construction revenue in Ghana, partially offset by higher well construction revenue in Ivory Coast.

Segment EBITDA for the ESSA segment was $32 million, or 28% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $9 million, or 21%, compared to $40 million, or 34% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin, was primarily attributable to a reduction in higher margin projects.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

Revenue for the MENA segment was $82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $11 million, or 12%, compared to $93 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by lower well flow management revenue in Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, together with reduced well intervention activity in Qatar due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Segment EBITDA for the MENA segment was $24 million, or 29% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $13 million, or 35%, compared to $36 million, or 39% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin is consistent with the decrease in revenue and activity mix.

Asia Pacific (APAC)

Revenue for the APAC segment was $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $1 million, or 3%, compared to $43 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher subsea well access activity in Malaysia and increased Coretrax-related activity in Myanmar, partially offset by lower well flow management and subsea well access activity in Australia.

Segment EBITDA for the APAC segment was $7 million, or 16% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was consistent with $7 million, or 16% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying schedules include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, which may be used periodically by management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts. The accompanying schedules of this press release provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes these metrics provide additional information relative to the performance of the business. These metrics are commonly employed by financial analysts and investors to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Expro from period to period and to compare such performance with the performance of other publicly traded companies within the industry. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Expro’s results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, contribution, contribution margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow margin, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for (a) income tax expense, (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) severance and other expense, (d) merger and integration expense, (e) gain on disposal of assets, (f) other (income) expense, net, (g) stock-based compensation expense, (h) foreign exchange (gains) losses and (i) interest and finance (income) expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of total revenue.

Contribution is defined as total revenue less cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization expense, adjusted for indirect general and administrative costs and stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenue.

  Expro evaluates its business segment operating performance using Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin. Expro’s management believes Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin are useful operating performance measures as they exclude transactions not related to its core operating activities, corporate costs and certain non-cash items and allows Expro to meaningfully analyze the trends and performance of its core operations by segment as well as to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to segments.

  (2)

  Expro defines Segment EBITDA margin as Segment EBITDA divided by Segment Revenue, expressed as a percentage.

  (3)

  Expro defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage.

  (4)

  Corporate costs include the costs of running our corporate head office and other central functions that support the operating segments but are not attributable to a particular operating segment, including central product line management, research, engineering and development, logistics, sales and marketing, and health and safety.

Have you looked into how Omnicom (OMC - Free Report) performed internationally during the quarter ending March 2026? Considering the widespread global presence of this advertising company, examining the trends in international revenues is essential for assessing its financial resilience and prospects for growth.

In the current era of a tightly interconnected global economy, the proficiency of a company to penetrate international markets significantly influences its financial health and trajectory of growth. For investors, the key is to grasp how reliant a company is on overseas markets, as this provides insights into the durability of its earnings, its ability to exploit different economic cycles, and its overall growth capabilities.

Being present in international markets serves as a counterbalance to domestic economic challenges while offering chances to engage with more rapidly evolving economies. However, this kind of diversification introduces challenges like currency fluctuations, geopolitical uncertainties and varying market trends.

Upon examining OMC's recent quarterly performance, we noticed several interesting patterns in the revenue generated from its international segments, which are commonly analyzed and observed by Wall Street experts.

The company's total revenue for the quarter stood at $6.24 billion, increasing 69.2% year over year. Now, let's delve into OMC's international revenue breakdown to gain insights into the significance of its operations beyond home turf.

A Dive into OMC's International Revenue TrendsOf the total revenue, $174.4 million came from Latin America during the last fiscal quarter, accounting for 2.8%. This represented a surprise of +0.22% as analysts had expected the region to contribute $174.02 million to the total revenue. In comparison, the region contributed $202.8 million, or 3.7%, and $96.4 million, or 2.6%, to total revenue in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.

During the quarter, Middle East and Africa contributed $129.8 million in revenue, making up 2.1% of the total revenue. When compared to the consensus estimate of $146.31 million, this meant a surprise of -11.28%. Looking back, Middle East and Africa contributed $204.9 million, or 3.7%, in the previous quarter, and $70.8 million, or 1.9%, in the same quarter of the previous year.

Asia Pacific generated $503.5 million in revenues for the company in the last quarter, constituting 8.1% of the total. This represented a surprise of -7.13% compared to the $542.17 million projected by Wall Street analysts. Comparatively, in the previous quarter, Asia Pacific accounted for $587.3 million (10.6%), and in the year-ago quarter, it contributed $416.7 million (11.3%) to the total revenue.

Anticipated Revenues in Overseas MarketsFor the current fiscal quarter, it is anticipated by Wall Street analysts that Omnicom will post revenues of $6.45 billion, which reflects an increase of 60.6% the same quarter in the previous year. The revenue contributions are expected to be 3% from Latin America ($196.05 million), 2.5% from Middle East and Africa ($162.26 million) and 9.1% from Asia Pacific ($585.7 million).

Analysts expect the company to report a total annual revenue of $25.58 billion for the full year, marking an increase of 48.1% compared to last year. The expected revenue contributions from Latin America, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific are projected to be 3.5% ($887.55 million), 3% ($762.49 million) and 9.6% ($2.45 billion) of the total revenue, in that order.

Concluding RemarksThe dependency of Omnicom on global markets for its revenues presents a mix of potential gains and hazards. Thus, monitoring the trends in its overseas revenues can be a key indicator for predicting the firm's future performance.

In an era of growing international ties and escalating geopolitical disputes, financial analysts on Wall Street pay keen attention to these developments to fine-tune their earnings estimations for businesses operating across borders. It's important to note, however, that a range of additional variables, like a company's local market status, also play a crucial role in shaping these forecasts.

Emphasizing a company's shifting earnings prospects is a key aspect of our approach at Zacks, especially since research has proven its substantial influence on a stock's price in the short run. This correlation is positively aligned, meaning that improved earnings projections tend to boost the stock's price.

The Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating mechanism, demonstrates a notable performance history confirmed through external audits. It effectively utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions to act as a predictor of a stock's price performance in the near term.

Omnicom, bearing a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), is expected to mirror the broader market's movements in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Howe also oversaw the expansion of the agency's capabilities through Weber I/O, Weber Advisory and Weber Create, broadening Weber Shandwick's integrated communications and advisory offerings.

A downtrend has been apparent in Omnicom (OMC - Free Report) lately with too much selling pressure. The stock has declined 10% over the past four weeks. However, given the fact that it is now in oversold territory and Wall Street analysts are majorly in agreement about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier, the stock could be due for a turnaround.

We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.

RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.

Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock's price is reaching a point of reversal.

So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefiting from the inevitable rebound.

However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.

Here's Why OMC Could Experience a TurnaroundThe RSI reading of 29.8 for OMC is an indication that the heavy selling could be in the process of exhausting itself, so the stock could bounce back in a quest for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.

This technical indicator is not the only factor that calls for a potential rebound for the stock. There is a fundamental indicator as well. A strong agreement among sell-side analysts covering OMC in raising earnings estimates for the current year has led to an increase in the consensus EPS estimate by 0.5% over the last 30 days. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.

Moreover, OMC currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential turnaround in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC) Presents at J.P. Morgan 54th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference Transcript

Key Takeaways OMC shares rose 7.2% in a year, lagging the industry's 16.1% return.OMC sees 50.3% y/y revenue growth in 2026 and flat in 2027, with earnings up 26.8% and 14.2%, respectively.OMC returned billions via dividends and buybacks in 2023-2025, even as liquidity slipped to 0.91. Shares of Omnicom (OMC - Free Report) have risen 7.2% over the past year compared with the industry’s 16.1% return.

OMC’s revenues in 2026 and 2027 are expected to increase 50.3% and remain flat year over year, respectively. Earnings are anticipated to rise 26.8% in 2026 and 14.2% in 2027.

Factors That Augur Well for OMC’s SuccessConsumer-Centric Strategies Driving Volumes: By focusing on consumer-centric strategic business solutions, the company addresses the evolving needs of clients more closely, fostering stronger partnerships. This would assist in driving volumes. This, along with Omnicom’s size and reach, indicates that the top line would be very stable and growing. 

Interpublic Buyout Bolsters Market Position: The acquisition brought together highly complementary assets, creating a portfolio of services and products that immediately expands opportunities for clients. With shared cultures and core values rooted in creativity, technology and data, the combined entity will strengthen its position as a leader in modern marketing. This integration should also accelerate innovation, enabling the development of products and services that drive higher returns on marketing investments.

Active Share Repurchases: In 2023, the company distributed $562.7 million in dividends and $570.8 million in share repurchases. In 2024, Omnicom distributed $552.7 million in dividends and executed share buybacks worth $370.7 million. In 2025, Omnicom distributed $549.6 million in dividends and executed share buybacks worth $707.9 million. Similarly, this consistent performance highlights Omnicom’s ability to generate robust cash flows, reinforcing investor confidence and supporting its stock performance.

Risks Faced by OmnicomFierce Competition: OMC operates in a highly fragmented and competitive market, competing with major players, such as WPP, Publicis Groupe and Interpublic Group, as well as emerging digital-focused firms. The competition drives innovation across the industry while increasing pricing pressures. Maintaining market share requires the company to invest heavily in technology, data analytics and talent acquisition, which can strain resources and impact short-term profitability.

Weak Liquidity Profile: OMC has a weak liquidity position due to a sharp rise in current debt. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a current ratio of 0.91, lower than the industry average of 0.93. A current ratio lower than 1 does not bode well with investors as it implies that the company may not be able to pay off short-term obligations efficiently.

Truth Is Everything: 72% of People Say It's More Important than Ever to Prioritize Truth

Research from McCann and Economist Enterprise reveals global growth will be driven by brands' ability to eliminate doubt and connect with the world's fastest-growing audience with ideas that move at the speed and flow of culture

, /PRNewswire/ -- McCann today released The Truth About Global Brands, a study of 20,713 people across 20 markets, revealing a fundamental reset in how brands achieve growth and relevance, globally. This year's study draws on independent insights from an analysis of B2B decision-makers conducted by Economist Enterprise, the B2B arm of The Economist Group.

Truth About Global Brands At a time when AI is reshaping decision-making, trust is fragmenting and cultural influence is shifting, the research finds that brands must help consumers navigate an increasingly complex "Truth Maze" by eradicating doubt to drive growth.

"Global brands are experiencing a growth crisis as we've shifted from a trust economy to a doubt economy, putting CMOs under more pressure than ever," said Tyler Turnbull, Global CEO, McCann. "The new playbook for the future of brand building will be grounded in a brand's ability to show up with clarity, credibility and cultural fluency at every decision point."

The "Truth Maze": a New Battleground for Brands' Bottom Line

In a world flooded with information, consumers and business leaders are navigating a "Truth Maze:" a complex web of conflicting information, AI-generated content, and competing claims that has made it harder than ever to determine what is real.

While 72% of people say it's more important than ever to prioritize truth, 55% believe brands are less truthful than they were 20 years ago 76% worry they will soon be unable to distinguish between real people and artificial ones online While AI adoption is expected -- 72% of consumers and 88% of B2B leaders say brands must use AI to keep up -- accountability is what will set brands apart.

53% of people say being transparent about AI use is the most effective way for brands to build trust, and 45% say brands should help them understand what's real and what isn't in AI-generated content The commercial stakes are high, with the research revealing that trust is not a soft brand value, but a revenue driver.

"In a world where truth matters more than ever, certainty is the new value exchange," said Harjot Singh, Global Chief Strategy Officer, McCann.

A vast majority of people (80%) say they will actively choose brands they trust, even if they cost more, signaling a growing premium on credibility 69% of consumers and 79% of B2B decision-makers have stopped using a brand because they no longer trusted it "The data tells a compelling story: when business leaders lose faith in a brand, they walk away and they don't come back easily," said Tamara McMillen, Chief Revenue Officer at Economist Enterprise. "What this means for global brands is that the commercial cost of doubt is real and measurable. Brands that invest in being trustworthy guides to B2B decision-makers are the ones best positioned to grow."

"Multi-Modal Globality" Challenges Traditional Brand Building Playbook

In a world inundated with information, the research reveals a major shift in how culture and influence flow globally, as ideas move fluidly across markets, platforms and communities.

Influence is increasingly multi-directional, not West-to-rest Markets like China, India and Saudi Arabia are shaping global norms 73% of people say you can be a global citizen without travelling Culture no longer flows in a straight line from global to local. Instead, it circulates --emerging, evolving and scaling across interconnected networks. Legacy models of global brand building — top-down or bottom-up — are no longer sufficient.

The Next Growth Engine: 1 Billion Strong "Upward Class"

With culture and influence now moving multi-directionally, a new, highly influential and expanding audience is defining the new era of brand growth: the "Upward Class."

1.02 billion people globally $29.5 trillion in annual spending power Highly motivated by progress, self-improvement and upward mobility Unlike previous generations, these consumers use brands not just to consume, but to signal progress, identity and belonging, reshaping the meaning of status itself.

Critically, the "Upward Class" shows lower brand cynicism and stronger belief in brands as tools for advancement, making them disproportionately influential in defining what growth looks like next.

"Future growth won't come from leaning on existing audiences or legacy markers of scale," continued Turnbull. "It will come from brands that turn truth into a genuine growth engine, building connected systems of meaning, culture and commerce. That's what McCann's Truth Well Told framework is designed to do."

The New Playbook for Global Brand Growth

Across all findings, one principle stands out: the brands that succeed in 2026 and beyond will not be those that say the most, but those that remove the most doubt and connect with segments shaping tomorrow's demand. This requires:

Acting as a trusted guide in a complex information landscape Going back to the basics, delivering products and experiences that are relevant, useful and prove their value Identifying and engaging emerging, high-growth audiences that believe in brands Designing truth-based ideas that move with culture and scale across networks Research Methodology

The Truth About Global Brands is based on a survey of 20,713 people across 20 markets [US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Mexico, Spain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand], conducted between November 2025 and January 2026, combined with qualitative insights from senior marketing leaders and global CMOs.

*Trended data is reported on a like-for-like basis, with the following markets [US, UK, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico] across 2018, 2023, 2026.

This year's report includes a B2B brand perspective based on independent insights from Economist Enterprise, the B2B division of The Economist Group that helps organizations understand global economic and geopolitical change, make informed strategic decisions and reach influential audiences. Their analysis surfaces the critical nuances that distinguish B2B audiences from the broader consumer sample – and what those nuances mean for brands competing for the trust and confidence of business buyers today.

CALGARY, Alberta, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crown Point Energy Inc. (TSX-V:CWV) ("Crown Point" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus (the "Preliminary Prospectus") in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec, with respect to an offering (the "Rights Offering") of rights ("Rights") to acquire common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") to raise gross proceeds of US$30 million.

Pursuant to the Rights Offering, each registered holder of Common Shares as at the close of business on the record date (the "Record Date") to be fixed prior to filing the final short form prospectus for the Rights Offering (the "Final Prospectus") will be entitled to receive one (1) Right for each one (1) Common Share held.   Each Right will entitle an eligible holder thereof to purchase a number of Common Shares at a price per Common Share to be determined prior to filing the Final Prospectus such that the total gross proceeds of the Rights Offering will be US$30 million. The Rights Offering will include an additional subscription privilege under which holders of Rights who fully exercise their Rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional Common Shares, if available, that were not otherwise subscribed for under the Rights Offering.

Under the Rights Offering, any Rights that would otherwise be distributed by the Company to shareholders who are not resident in the provinces of Canada (other than Québec), will instead be delivered to the subscription agent appointed by the Company, who will hold such Rights as agent for the benefit of all such ineligible holders. Further information regarding the treatment of Rights issued to shareholders resident in ineligible jurisdictions is included in the Preliminary Prospectus.

In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company has entered into a standby purchase agreement (the "Standby Purchase Agreement") with its largest shareholder, Liminar Energía SA ("Liminar"). Liminar has agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to exercise its basic subscription privilege in full and exercise its additional subscription privilege to the extent necessary to subscribe for all Common Shares available under the Rights Offering. As a result, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the Standby Purchase Agreement, the Rights Offering will be fully backstopped by Liminar.

The Company intends to use the gross proceeds of the Rights Offering to make an equity investment in Crown Point Energía S.A. ("CPESA"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and CPESA intends to use such funds (together with cash on hand) to repay the US$30 million loan (plus accrued interest) obtained from Liminar, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the purchase price payable by CPESA to complete the acquisition of a 95% operated interest in the El Tordillo, La Tapera and Puesto Quiroga hydrocarbon exploitation concessions and certain related pipeline and other infrastructure located in the Province of Chubut, Argentina.

Mr. Pablo Peralta, a director of the Company, is the President and a director of Liminar and controls 45% of the voting shares of Liminar. Mr. Andrés Peralta, the President and a director of CPESA, is a director of Liminar and indirectly controls 10% of the voting shares of Liminar. Mr. Juan Llado, a director of each of the Company and CPESA, is a director of Liminar. Liminar is a "control person" of the Company by virtue of owning approximately 63.9% of the outstanding Common Shares, and as such, Liminar is a "related party" of the Company. No fees are payable by Crown Point to Liminar pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement.

Following a review of the Preliminary Prospectus by the Canadian securities regulators and the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the Company expects to file a Final Prospectus and to deliver the Final Prospectus to its shareholders who hold Common Shares on the Record Date. The Rights Offering will be open for at least 21 days. The Rights Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the TSXV. Further details concerning the Rights Offering, including the details of the Standby Purchase Agreement, are contained in the Company's Preliminary Prospectus available on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.  

This press release is not an offer of securities of the Company for sale in the United States. The Rights and Common Shares issuable on exercise of the Rights have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rights and Common Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.

Despite losing the lion’s share of its once-dominant 95% stake in China’s data-center GPU market due to U.S. export curbs, experts suggest the company is far from finished in the region.

DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group’s Paul Triolo noted on Friday that Nvidia’s H200 chips are seeing resilient demand for Chinese industrial AI applications, even as Beijing pours unprecedented resources into a difficult “moonshot” to build a domestic semiconductor supply chain.

With CEO Jensen Huang recently joining a high-profile U.S. delegation to advocate for continued limited trade, and analysts like Jim Cramer warning that total blocks might only accelerate China’s self-sufficiency, all eyes are on Nvidia’s ability to defend its global leadership.

Paul Triolo Sees China Still Needing NVIDIA’s Older AI ChipsTriolo told CNBC on Friday that NVIDIA’s H200 chips continue to face strong demand in China despite no longer representing the company’s newest AI hardware.

Triolo explained that the H200 chips remain well-suited for AI inference workloads and industrial AI applications, which continue expanding rapidly across China.

He noted that NVIDIA once controlled roughly 95% of China’s data-center GPU market but has since lost most of that share due to U.S. export restrictions and China’s push toward domestic alternatives.

According to Triolo, Jensen Huang joined Trump’s China delegation partly to convince both U.S. and Chinese officials that allowing limited sales of NVIDIA GPUs to China still benefits both sides.

Triolo Says China Is Advancing Domestic Chip DevelopmentTriolo described China’s effort to build an independent semiconductor supply chain as one of the most difficult industrial projects ever attempted.

He pointed to Huawei-led initiatives and government-backed programs aimed at developing advanced lithography systems and domestic semiconductor manufacturing tools.

While Triolo said China still faces major technological hurdles — including access to advanced lithography equipment, materials, and supporting infrastructure — he expects the country to make measurable progress within the next two to three years.

However, he cautioned that scaling advanced chip manufacturing across multiple factories and maintaining high-volume operations remains significantly more challenging.

Jim Cramer Argues NVIDIA Sales Help Preserve U.S. AI LeadershipCNBC’s Jim Cramer told on Thursday that the U.S. should allow NVIDIA to continue selling AI chips into China because blocking access could accelerate China’s domestic chip ambitions.

Cramer argued that forcing Chinese companies to build their own alternatives may eventually help them catch up technologically, especially given China’s large engineering workforce and energy resources.

He also highlighted NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress’ earlier comments that the company had not yet generated China revenue, despite limited U.S. approvals for some products.

At the same time, Cramer pointed to Jensen Huang’s more optimistic remarks in March, when the NVIDIA CEO said the company had received purchase orders and restarted manufacturing tied to China demand.

Despite uncertainty surrounding export controls, Cramer maintained a bullish view on NVIDIA, arguing the company remains central to the global AI boom and still trades at an attractive valuation relative to peers.

Earnings & Analyst OutlookThe countdown is on: Nvidia Corp is set to report earnings on May 20, 2026 (confirmed).

EPS Estimate: $1.76 (Up from 96 cents YoY) Revenue Estimate: $78.93 Billion (Up from $44.06 Billion YoY) Valuation: P/E of 48.1x (Indicates premium valuation relative to peers) Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price forecast of $284.40. Recent analyst moves include:

UBS: Buy (Raises Forecast to $275.00) (May 14) RBC Capital: Outperform (Maintains Forecast to $250.00) (May 14) Cantor Fitzgerald: Overweight (Raises Forecast to $350.00) (May 14) Technical AnalysisEven with Friday's premarket pullback, Nvidia is still trading well above its key trend gauges: about 9.9% above the 20-day SMA ($209.12) and roughly 23.7% above the 200-day SMA ($185.74).

That spacing typically signals strong trend control by buyers, but it also raises the odds of sharper shakeouts when the market tone turns defensive.

RSI is the cleanest momentum read right now, sitting at 76.93—firmly overbought—and that matters because RSI helps gauge how "stretched" a move is versus its recent pace.

RSI first pushed into overbought territory in May, and the stock has stayed elevated, which often keeps upside intact but makes near-term pullbacks more likely to be fast and headline-sensitive.

Trend structure remains constructive with the 20-day SMA above the 50-day SMA (bullish), and the longer-term golden cross (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) that occurred in June 2025 continues to support the bigger uptrend.

From a swing perspective, the chart is still working off a recent swing low from March and a swing high from April, with the 52-week high tagged in May near $236.54.

Key Support: $194.50 — a nearby level where buyers previously stepped in, sitting close to the broader moving-average "catch zone" (near the 50-day/100-day area) if the pullback deepens NVDA Stock Price Activity: Nvidia shares were down 2.64% at $229.51 during premarket trading on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
