Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 12% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 9, 2025
IPG looks beaten down and may be ready for a bounce. The mood around the stock is still decent. Analysts expect a small dip in sales, which lowers the hurdle, so even a mild beat could help. Several rivals have recently done better than expected, hinting the ad market is stabilizing. If the government fully reopens, business confidence could improve. Start near the lower price area and wait for proof to avoid a value trap.
Primary drivers

- Expectations are low, so even modest beats could push the share price higher
- Peers beat forecasts, suggesting the slowdown may be easing across the group
- Investor mood remains constructive, which can help any rebound carry further
