AN AD FOR INTERPUBLIC

摘要

Shares of one of the top U.S. advertising firms, Interpublic Group of Companies, are up 22%, to 8, since its fourth-quarter sales exceeded Wall Street expectations on Feb. 26. Although revenues were down 5.3% from a year earlier, that was the smallest sales decline in a year. JPMorgan analyst Alexia Quadrani and her team believe that the strong performance in the quarter shows that "weakness in ad spending is moderating."
