Publicis Hopes to Repeat Epsilon Success With LiveRamp Deal -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-18

0920 GMT - Publicis Groupe's $2.55 billion deal for U.S. data specialist LiveRamp looks like an attempt to replicate the impact the 2019 acquisition of Epsilon had on the French advertising group, UBS's Jo Barnet-Lamb and Ashna Gautam say in a research note. Epsilon has become a core differentiator for Publicis in data and identity, the analysts say. "LiveRamp fits within this approach, extending the group's position in data and enabling a broader AI/data collaboration offering, which is aligned with evolving client demand," they add. "The debate is likely to centre on whether LiveRamp can replicate the success of Epsilon in driving a more differentiated, higher-growth profile over time." Shares in Publicis rise 2.1%, while LiveRamp is up 27% in U.S. premarket trading. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
