How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right. See how we grade analysts on earnings-call questions.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q3
how much of the $900 million of the synergies is already in the numbers up to the 9 months?
Show response
Angelastro said synergies are on pace, with 75%-85% expected to reach the bottom line, but gave no nine-month dollar figure.
Any conflicts around that, or should we assume that you benefit from the Coke win and also continue to work with Pepsi
Show response
Wren deferred Coke comments to the client but said any Coke business won would be incremental to existing revenue and relationships.
Calendar 2026 Q2
you talked about $3.2 billion of revenue that was being held for sale
Show response
Angelastro gave the updated $3.5 to $3.6 billion figure and said about 60% of the increase relates to advertising. Answered.
can you give us an update on how much of the $900 million of synergies has been delivered at the first half, please?
Show response
Angelastro gave a little over halfway with similar progression in Q3 and Q4, no precise dollar split. Answered.
Calendar 2025 Q3
when do you think we'll be able to see pro forma financials and get some guidance for how the pro forma business is going to perform
Show response
John laid out a two-phase disclosure plan: portfolio and strategic priorities at CES in January, financial modeling and synergy details between then and year-end earnings at the latest.
there was a big deceleration in precision marketing. And you mentioned there were some problems in Europe. Can you just give us a bit more detail
Show response
John identified the Cordero consulting business as the specific source of the European decline, related to government work pullbacks. Said the rest of precision marketing has a very good pipeline.
Calendar 2025 Q2
is it reasonable to assume growth improves in H2 because of the ramp-up of the Amazon revenues from the win last year
Show response
John avoided macro projection, emphasized flexibility. Phil said repositioning costs already factored into 10bps margin improvement guidance. Flywheel continues to perform well, especially in the US.
Calendar 2025 Q1
Can you just say a little bit more about your decision to lower the bottom end of the guidance range for 2025 to 2.5%?
Show response
John explained the widened range reflects caution around events/experiential comps and election comps, not specific client spending cuts. Media and CRM forecasts unchanged.
Calendar 2024 Q4
Can you just explain your thinking about why you think growth, is going to slow down? Or are you just being a bit conservative
Show response
John cited U.S. government policy changes and potential sector implications, characterizing the approach as conservative rather than pessimistic.
Can you talk a little bit about what happened in Q4 that mend things ended up better than you expected?
Show response
Phil explained Media, Precision Marketing, and PR election spend drove Q4 above expectations. Clear and specific response.
