The company’s recently formed specialist e-commerce practice, Transact, is expected to strengthen its e-commerce capabilities by helping clients to allot cross-channel spending, help it make operational changes within inventory and sales systems, and attach strategic decisions with marketing messaging. These, in turn, will help the company increase sales by expanding market share on eRetail platforms.
We believe that the consistency and diversity of Omnicom's operations, and increased focus on delivering consumer-centric strategic business solutions will ensure its long-term profitability.
Some Risks
Omnicom's current ratio (a measure of liquidity) at the end of the September quarter was 0.95, lower than the September 2021 current ratio of 1.00. A decline in the current ratio is not desirable as it indicates that the company may have problems meeting its short-term debt obligations.
