Marketing and advertising company M&C Saatchi (SAA) has announced its results for the first half of the 2026 calendar year and that it is “confident in delivering LFL net revenue and operating profit growth for the full year 2026, in line with market expectations”. So what about a current more than 6% lower share price response to below 140p?
Marketing company M&C Saatchi (SAA) has issued a “FY 2025 Trading Update”-titled announcement headlined “Delivery of net revenue, operating profit and net cash in line with guidance. Confident in plans for profitable growth despite persistent macro challenges”. The shares have responded a bit higher to 130p, but what about that comparing to 170p at the start of 2025?
Most recently writing on marketing company M&C Saatchi (SAA) in September even with the shares down to 150p, I concluded with the revenue headwinds avoid. The shares most recently closed at 126p and what of today a “Trading Update”?
Marketing company M&C Saatchi (SAA) has announced its results for the first half of the 2025 calendar year including that it “is targeting full year profit to be in line with prior year, underpinned by our ongoing and accelerated global transformation programme, structural changes and flexible management of a largely variable cost base”. Hmmm – so cost-based actions ‘underpinning’ only a target of profit in line with the prior year and the shares currently down more than 10% in response at 150p. Is it then that the company’s revenue strategy isn’t working?
