Exploring Interpublic Gr of Cos's Earnings Expectations

U.S. major indices traded lower at midday Wednesday, pressured by sharp declines in tech and semiconductor stocks after Washington tightened chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">export restrictions to China.</a>
The U.S. government has barred Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) from selling its H20 chips to China — a move that could wipe out an estimated $5.5 billion from the company's projected quarterly revenue. Nvidia shares slid nearly 7%.
Other chipmakers also felt the heat. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 6% as its MI308 chips fall under the new licensing requirements.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sank 3.4%, extending the sector&#8217;s losses. Adding to the drag, Dutch chip equipment giant ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) missed quarterly revenue estimates, sending its shares down 5%.
On the macro front, March retail sales surprised to the upside, rising 1.4% month-over-month — topping forecasts of 1.3% and marking the strongest monthly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44837237/march-retail-sales-post-highest-surge-in-over-two-years-as-us-consumers-anticipate-tariff-jitters">gain since January 2023.</a>
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar saw renewed selling pressure, with the dollar index dipping back below 100. Treasury yields were little changed, with the 10-year yield holding steady near 4.33%.
Gold continued its stellar run, surging 2.5% to a fresh record high of $3,320 per ounce as demand for safe-haven assets remains robust.
In commodities, oil prices rebounded sharply, with WTI crude climbing 2% to $62 a barrel. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) also edged up 1.3% to around $84,500.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago later this afternoon.

Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

The discussions are ongoing, and the final terms could change, the report added.&nbsp;
If the deal goes through, it would be the first major outside investment since Musk's takeover.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">X&#8217;s Financial Moves and the Road to Recovery</h2>
Since Musk took control, has had a tough time holding on to advertisers. According to <a href="https://www.actionsxchangerepository.fidelity.com/ShowDocument/ComplianceEnvelope.htm?_fax=-18%2342%23-61%23-110%23114%2378%23117%2320%23-1%2396%2339%23-62%23-21%2386%23-100%2337%2316%2335%23-68%2391%23-66%2354%23103%23-16%2369%23-30%2358%23-20%2376%23-84%23-11%23-87%2348%23-52%23-21%23-96%23-58%23-33%23-107%23-46%2393%23113%23-112%23127%23-42%23-97%2330%23-58%23-24%23-27%23-119%2394%23-121%23-102%23-69%23-71%23-99%2338%2353%23-51%2361%23-106%23-18%23-43%23-106%23-20%23-31%2385%23-55%235%2388%23-74%2371%23107%23-82%23-3%23-86%23-27%23-57%23-125%2342%23119%2357%23-111%2321%2363%23-99%2317%23-28%2320%23-38%23-101%23113%2380%23-77%23-4%23">Fidelity Investments</a>, the company's valuation dropped nearly 72% by October, largely because of concerns over content moderation and brand safety. Advertising revenue took a hit, and many major brands pulled their spending. But now, there are signs of a comeback.

In December, as mentioned by Bloomberg, Musk's aerospace company, SpaceX, reached a valuation of $350 billion, cementing its status as the most valuable private tech firm.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, secured $6 billion in funding at a $50 billion valuation and could soon see that number climb to $75 billion. X holds a 10% stake in xAI, which ties its future to the fast-growing AI sector.
To add value, X has integrated xAI's Grok 3 AI model into its platform. As claimed by the company, <a href="https://x.com/grok/status/1891793693020991658">Grok 3 outperforms </a>AI systems from Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek. Following its release, X raised the price of its Premium+ subscription to nearly $50 a month as part of a push to generate more revenue outside of advertising.

Still, ad revenue hasn't fully bounced back. In line with industry reports, X's U.S. ad sales were down 28% year-over-year in 2024. However, some brands are returning. CEO Linda Yaccarino <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R9LtHiZ74w">said in early January</a> that 90% of advertisers who had previously left have resumed spending on the platform.
X has appeared to be pressuring advertising giant Interpublic Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPG#NYSE">IPG</a>) to increase client spending on the platform, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/x-hinted-at-possible-deal-trouble-in-talks-with-ad-giant-to-increase-spending-feb122a6">according to The Wall Street Journal</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interpublic leadership saw a phone call from an attorney from X as a threat that its planned $13 billion merger with Omnicom Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMC#NYSE">OMC</a>) could be slowed down or blocked by the incoming Trump administration due to Musk's expected role in the government, The Journal reported.&nbsp;
Musk also is dealing with legal troubles. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 14 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26219">announced a lawsuit</a> against Musk for allegedly not timely disclosing he purchased more than 5% of Twitter's common stock in March 2022. The regulator said the lack of timely disclosure allowed Musk to save $150 million on the deal.&nbsp;
