Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

<p>Have you looked into how <strong>Interpublic Group</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ipg#NYSE">IPG</a>) performed internationally during the quarter ending June 2024? Considering the widespread global presence of this marketing and advertising company, examining the trends in international revenues is essential for assessing its financial resilience and prospects for growth.</p>
<p>In the current global economy, which is more interconnected than ever, a company&#39;s success in penetrating international markets is crucial for its financial health and growth journey. Investors must understand a company&#39;s dependence on overseas markets, as this offers a window into the company&#39;s earnings stability, its ability to benefit from varied economic cycles and its potential for long-term growth.</p>
<p>Participation in global economies acts as a defense against economic difficulties at home and a pathway to more rapidly developing economies. However, it also comes with the complexities of dealing with fluctuating currencies, geopolitical risks and different market dynamics.</p>
<p>Upon examining IPG&#39;s recent quarterly performance, we noticed several interesting patterns in the revenue generated from its international segments, which are commonly analyzed and observed by Wall Street experts.</p>
<p>For the quarter, the company&#39;s total revenue amounted to $2.33 billion, experiencing a decline of 0.1% year over year. Next, we&#39;ll explore the breakdown of IPG&#39;s international revenue to understand the importance of its overseas business operations.</p>
<p><strong>Unveiling Trends in IPG&#39;s International Revenues</strong></p>
<p>United Kingdom generated $193.7 million in revenues for the company in the last quarter, constituting 8.3% of the total. This represented a surprise of -10.11% compared to the $215.49 million projected by Wall Street analysts. Comparatively, in the previous quarter, United Kingdom accounted for $210.9 million (9.7%), and in the year-ago quarter, it contributed $216.3 million (9.3%) to the total revenue.</p>
<p>Asia Pacific accounted for 7.2% of the company&#39;s total revenue during the quarter, translating to $167.3 million. Revenues from this region represented a surprise of -16.48%, with Wall Street analysts collectively expecting $200.32 million. When compared to the preceding quarter and the same quarter in the previous year, Asia Pacific contributed $173.1 million (7.9%) and $211.7 million (9.1%) to the total revenue, respectively.</p>
<p>During the quarter, Latin America contributed $102.2 million in revenue, making up 4.4% of the total revenue. When compared to the consensus estimate of $106.02 million, this meant a surprise of -3.6%. Looking back, Latin America contributed $92.6 million, or 4.2%, in the previous quarter, and $110.4 million, or 4.7%, in the same quarter of the previous year.</p>
<p>Of the total revenue, $199.2 million came from Continental Europe during the last fiscal quarter, accounting for 8.6%. This represented a surprise of -5.11% as analysts had expected the region to contribute $209.93 million to the total revenue. In comparison, the region contributed $203.9 million, or 9.3%, and $214.8 million, or 9.2%, to total revenue in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.</p>
<p><strong>International Market Revenue Projections</strong></p>
<p>It is projected by analysts on Wall Street that Interpublic will post revenues of $2.31 billion for the ongoing fiscal quarter, a decline of 0.2% from the year-ago quarter. The expected contributions from United Kingdom, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Continental Europe to this revenue are 9.5%, 8.7%, 4.7% and 9.2%, translating into $218.9 million, $200.87 million, $109.2 million and $212.5 million, respectively.</p>
<p>For the entire year, the company&#39;s total revenue is forecasted to be $9.89 billion, which is an improvement of 5.2% from the previous year. The revenue contributions from different regions are expected as follows: United Kingdom will contribute 9% ($894.77 million), Asia Pacific 8.1% ($799.45 million), Latin America 4.4% ($431.56 million) and Continental Europe 8.8% ($867.14 million) to the total revenue.</p>
<p><strong>Closing Remarks</strong></p>
<p>Interpublic&#39;s leaning on foreign markets for its revenue stream presents a mix of chances and challenges. Therefore, a vigilant watch on its international revenue movements can greatly aid in projecting the company&#39;s future direction.</p>
<p>In an era of growing international interdependencies and escalating geopolitical disputes, Wall Street analysts are vigilant in tracking these trends for businesses with a global reach, in order to refine their predictions of earnings. It should be noted, however, that a multitude of other elements, such as a company&#39;s domestic position, also play a significant role in shaping the earnings forecasts.</p>
<p>At Zacks, a company&#39;s changing earnings outlook is given considerable attention due to its proven, strong influence on a stock&#39;s price performance in the near term. The connection here is straightforward and positive: when earnings estimates are revised upward, the stock price generally follows suit, increasing as well.</p>
<p>With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool - the Zacks Rank - harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions and serves as an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s near-term price performance.</p>
<p>Interpublic currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.</p>
<p><strong>A Review of Interpublic&#39;s Recent Stock Market Performance</strong></p>

<p><strong>Interpublic Group</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ipg#NYSE">IPG</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.61 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.74 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.</p>
<p>A quarter ago, it was expected that this marketing and advertising company would post earnings of $0.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.36, delivering no surprise.</p>
<p>Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.</p>
<p>Interpublic, which belongs to the Zacks Advertising and Marketing industry, posted revenues of $2.33 billion for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.10%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.33 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.</p>
<p>The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.</p>
<p>Interpublic shares have lost about 8.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 16.5%.</p>
<p><strong>What&#39;s Next for Interpublic?</strong></p>
<p>While Interpublic has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?</p>
<p>There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.</p>
<p>Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.</p>
<p>Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Interpublic: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.70 on $2.31 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.80 on $9.89 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.</p>
<p>Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Advertising and Marketing is currently in the bottom 36% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.</p>
<p>One other stock from the same industry, <strong>National CineMedia</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ncmi#NASDAQ">NCMI</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024.</p>
<p>This theater advertising company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +88.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 100% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.</p>
<p>National CineMedia&#39;s revenues are expected to be $50.43 million, up 240.8% from the year-ago quarter.</p>
