Publicis (Steve Liechti): 1H - good LFL momentum continues Steve Liechti

1H figures show continued LFL net revenue momentum (modest beat to our +44-20-7541-1549

forecast/consensus) with margin/profit more in line. Positive comment on new biz

wins and narrowing FY LFL net revenue guidance upwards to more in line with Annabel Hames

consensus. Hold – we like consistent PUB growth delivery vs peers and Research Analyst

positioning, though within a tough agency sector (macro pressure/structural

change); FY26E P/E is c. 11x vs peers trading on 5x to 7.5x (BBG consensus). PT Silvia Cuneo

▪ Outlook – narrowing guidance range upwards to +4.5% to +5% (+4-5%

before with +4% ‘rock solid’) given new biz wins (incl. 1H26) despite Tarun Mittal

tougher 2H comps. PUB margin guidance unchanged with a slight Research Associate

improvement from FY25 (18.2%) while maintaining a high level of Shrishti Shubham

investment. New biz in 1H secures c. 200bps of growth on a FY basis. Research Associate

Free cashflow target EUR2.2bn vs EUR2.1bn before.
