Overweight -> Equal Weight

Reason

Barclays analyst Julien Roch downgraded Interpublic Group to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $27.50, down from $34. The firm came away from the Cannes ad festival last week more bearish than before on the advertising agencies. Artificial intelligence should result in operating performance "remaining contrasted and in the current low organic growth continuing," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays says the organic growth rate of the top six holdings agencies has been lackluster since 2017 and AI "will profoundly and irrevocably transform the industry." While the agencies "will adapt, survive and ultimately thrive, it will take time, money and good execution," contends Barclays.

Wells Fargo lowered the firm's price target on Interpublic Group (IPG) to $27 from $30 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm cites the uncertainty in Ad Services.

Neutral

Reason

MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson lowered the firm's price target on Interpublic Group (IPG) to $28 from $31 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. In thinking about the global advertising agency space, the firm says it would be remiss not to acknowledge that something has turned for the worse for this group post-pandemic. MoffettNathanson thinks when this quarter's results for the Big 4 are tabulated tomorrow morning after WPP (WPP) posts Q1 revenues, it is likely that on a net revenue basis, that excludes the cost of purchased third party media or third-party pass-along incidental charges, first quarter net organic revenue will maybe be flat at best, and that is before whatever impact U.S. tariffs have on the global economy. On a company basis, Interpublic Group might actually turn out to be the agency poster child for the post-COVID world, the firm adds.
