Stagwell (STGW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Stagwell Inc. demonstrated impressive financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2024, with organic growth in digital transformation work rising by 17%, contributing to an estimated net revenue of $629 million, reflecting a 13.6% year-over-year increase. The company also saw significant progress in net new business, amounting to $102 million for the quarter, up 47% year-over-year, alongside a total trailing twelve months (TTM) net new wins of $382 million, a 41% year-over-year growth. Stagwell's EBITDA margins improved to 19.6%, a 240 basis point increase year-over-year, despite investment impacts, indicating enhanced operational efficiency and profitability.
Bears say
The negative outlook on Stagwell Inc. is primarily driven by concerns surrounding the broader advertising industry, which has experienced a downturn, as indicated by WPP's 4Q24 results and cautious guidance for 2025, reflecting a potential slowdown in ad spending in a weakening economy. Additionally, the performance of Stagwell's peers, which have faced significant client losses and a weighted average decline of 14% in share value over the past year, suggests a challenging competitive landscape that may impact Stagwell's market position. This overall sector sentiment, coupled with the expectation of reduced advertising expenditure, poses significant risks to Stagwell's revenue generation capabilities, particularly given that the majority of its revenue is derived from the United States.
