Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 73% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 16, 2025
The share price dropped 18% in less than three weeks, which often happens just before a rebound. A rival’s strong results and a fresh Buy rating hint that ad spending is turning up again. At only 8.7 times expected profits, the stock looks inexpensive. If buying picks up, the price could climb back toward $30.50, about 20% higher, within the next three months.
Primary drivers
- Very low momentum reading plus double usual trading hints selling is ending
- Rival Omnicom's earnings beat suggests companies may boost ad budgets again
- Broker upgrade and low 8.7x profit multiple show shares look inexpensive
- If price trend turns up, short-term traders could rush in and lift shares
How it played out
IPG: target was not reached
Lyra published IPG at $24.83 on July 16, 2025. The thesis expected 20% growth over the short term, with a target of $29.42. It pointed to an 18% drop in less than three weeks, a very low momentum reading, double usual trading, Omnicom's earnings beat, a broker upgrade, and an 8.7 times expected profit multiple.
