Publicis : Feedback from road show in North America, target price raised to € 115

We organised a road show in North America with Jean-Michel Bonamy, Deputy CFO. The message remains positive about the organic trend for Q4 and 2026. We have come away with a stronger belief in the 2026 momentum and beyond, with solid EPS growth and, in our view, potential increased use of share buybacks if the M&A envelope is not spent in full. We reiterate our Outperform rating on the stock with a target price adjusted to € 115 (vs € 110) as a result of a slight increase in our long-term margin forecasts. The current share price is still very attractively valued, with a 2026e PE of 10.7x, providing an interesting entry point for a stock with a 10% FCF yield.
