Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Communication Services · Advertising Agencies · United States · High Growth
Is OMC undervalued?
OMC closed at 80.72 on 16 Oct 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 77.99 - 3.5% above fair value, which our screens read as "fairly priced". 4 of 9 models are above the current price. There is no discount to lean on here, so the margin of safety is not the reason to look at the stock.
There is a wide gap between EPV (15.54) and 10 Cap (196.83). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
The nightly engine files OMC under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for OMC
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 122.62 | +52% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 33.46 | -59% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 45.18 | -44% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 17.16 | -79% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 85.61 | +6% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 196.83 | +144% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 138.44 | +72% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 47.09 | -42% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 15.54 | -81% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -50.64 | -163% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
Omnicom Group Inc. scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability OMC scores 6.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Scorecard on the Quote page's Financials tab shows which ten-year lines are steady and which are not.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -0.2%, ROE -0.5%, ROA -0.1% - with debt at 1.06 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 10.8%.
The dividend yield is 3.96% at a payout ratio of 193%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Integrated Media 50%, Advertising 16%, Experiential & Other 14% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | -0.2% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 6.0 / 10 | ROE | -0.5% |
| Debt / equity | 1.06 | ROA | -0.1% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 10.8% | Payout ratio | 193% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 72: Good
With a Wheel Score of 72 - the Good band - Omnicom Group Inc. clears the Sunday Scan's "70 or higher" rule. The parts: Value 11/25, Health 13/20, Moat 9/15, Premium 18/20, Stability 20/20; Value (11/25) scores lowest.
Implied volatility is 33% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out: some premium, but under the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for (18 of 20 points). Chain open interest is 24,481 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 2.6M shares a day on a market cap of $22.1B, with a beta of 0.70 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 20 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 11 / 25 | -3% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 9 / 15 | moat 6.0/10 | |
| Premium | 18 / 20 | implied volatility 33% | |
| Stability | 20 / 20 | 2.6M shares/day, $22.1B cap, beta 0.70 |
