Ipsos - Q1 does not reassure us that Ipsos will achieve its full-year growth guidance

Organic sales up 4.5%, significantly below our expectations given the very favorable base effectSales in the Americas down 3%, penalized by Public Affairs and disappointing growth in the Tech sectorOur organic growth forecast has been revised downwards to +3% (versus +4% previously, which was already at the lower end of the Group's guidance range).We move to "ADD" from "BUY". The risk reward no longer seems as attractive after the rerating of valuation multiples and given the risk on growth guidance.
