Advertising Agencies: AppLovin Corporation owns the largest revenue base AND the fastest current growth.
The industry itself · before any single company
How has Advertising Agencies moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 34% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 25% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 16 weeks running.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 17 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Entravision Communications Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 58.6% evidence confidence.
Criteo S.A. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Stagwell Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -39.2% and the one-year return is 10.3%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
AppLovin Corporation has the highest Revenue among the 20 Advertising Agencies companies compared here, at $6,164 million. Advantage Solutions Inc. is next at $3,591 million. The same company also holds the highest Revenue growth, at 66.4%. 14 of 20 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026. Its Revenue series carries 19 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.
What the numbers say: AppLovin Corporation is the scale leader at $6,164 million, 71.7% ahead of Advantage Solutions Inc.. AppLovin Corporation's growth is 66.4% from a $6,164 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: AppLovin Corporation is the scale benchmark; AppLovin Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: AppLovin Corporation's growth falls below AppLovin Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.
This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Advertising Agencies comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 2 of the 20 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
2 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.

Which companies are included?
All 20 companies in the canonical Advertising Agencies membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 20 Advertising Agencies companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Every one is computed from the same 20 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Advertising Agencies company is the biggest?
AppLovin Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $6,164 million, ahead of Advantage Solutions Inc. at $3,591 million. That covers 14 of 20 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Advertising Agencies company is growing fastest?
AppLovin Corporation has the fastest revenue growth at 66.4% year on year, across 14 of 20 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Advertising Agencies company has the best profit margins?
AppLovin Corporation has the highest operating margin at 78.2%, from 18 of 20 comparable companies. Entravision Communications Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +68 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Advertising Agencies company makes the most profit?
AppLovin Corporation earns the most, at $3,964 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 16 of 20 comparable companies. AppLovin Corporation has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Advertising Agencies company earns the highest return on capital?
AppLovin Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 27.4%, across 20 of 20 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Advertising Agencies stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Criteo S.A. screens cheapest at 0.2×. Only 5 of 20 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Advertising Agencies company has the strongest balance sheet?
QMMM Holdings Limited carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 18 of 20 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Advertising Agencies company is investing most in new capacity?
The Trade Desk, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $113 million, across 18 of 20 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Advertising Agencies sector beating the market?
Advertising Agencies has outperformed S&P 500 by 74.6% over the last 52 weeks and 17.4% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 11 of 19 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Advertising Agencies stock has the strongest price momentum?
QMMM Holdings Limited has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Advertising Agencies company scores highest for research priority?
Entravision Communications Corporation scores 61.9 out of 100 with 58.6% evidence confidence, from 26.2 points on growth and earnings, 10.7 on capital efficiency, 8.5 on valuation and 16.5 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
