The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +324.6% while the share price moved +126.5%. ## What is the Stagwell share price today? Stagwell Inc.'s share price was $10.76 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 26 weeks. That is 49.0% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $5 and $11, and at that close it was at the high of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 16 weeks in a row. Over the last 5.2 years the share price moved +79% while the S&P 500 moved +70%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Stagwell pay? Stagwell Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Stagwell on? Stagwell is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Stagwell profitable? Stagwell Inc. posted a net loss of $8.1 M in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $29.1 M. That loss is 1.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $5.3 M. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $29.1 M (+1,188.2% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Stagwell make, and is it growing? Stagwell Inc. reported $786 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +11.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 18.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $3.0 B. FY25 revenue was $2.9 B, +2.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.5% on average, against 18.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.4%, against +7.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Stagwell keep? Stagwell Inc.'s operating margin was 2.6% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.2 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 4.0% and 10.4%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.2 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −0.8 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Stagwell's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 1,635% of Stagwell Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $291 M of operating cash against $29.1 M of profit. After $43.7 M of spending on assets, $247 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Stagwell's cash go? Stagwell Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $76.9 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 0.9% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $76.9 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Stagwell's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Stagwell Inc.'s P/E is 275.8×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +324.6% while the price moved +126.5%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +31.4% a year; about +4.0% a year came from earnings growth and about +27.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Stagwell business getting better or worse? Stagwell Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 12 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Stagwell earn on its capital? Stagwell Inc. earned a ROE of 4% in FY25. That is up from a low of 0% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 5.7 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 1.0% net margin and 0.69× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 1.0% net margin × 0.69× asset turnover × 5.26× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.6% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 1.9% − 7.6% = −5.7 percentage points. The 7.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 1.9% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 2.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Stagwell have too much debt? Stagwell Inc. has total debt of $1.7 B against shareholder equity of $707 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 2.41× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.74 in FY21 to 2.00 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Stagwell shareholding pattern? 10.3% of Stagwell Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 6.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Stagwell from balance-sheet trouble? For Stagwell Inc., the Z-score is 1.07. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.07 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Stagwell rank in its industry? 52.3 out of 100, rank 9 of 20 in Advertising Agencies, with 64% of the evidence available. Stagwell Inc. scores 52.3 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Advertising Agencies, ranking 9. Relative strength against the index is 49.6%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 15.5 + 7.9 + 8.9 + 20 = 52.3. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Stagwell compared with? Stagwell ranks 9 of 20 Advertising Agencies companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 52.3 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Earnings per share were −$0.03. The operating margin was 2.6%, 0.2 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Stagwell's market cap? Stagwell Inc.'s market capitalisation is $2.7 B at a stock price of $10.76. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is Stagwell performing? Stagwell Inc.'s share price has been rising for 26 weeks. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, for 16 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Stagwell's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Stagwell Inc.'s stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $10.76, and it has been rising for 26 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Stagwell have too much debt? Yes, Stagwell Inc. has a lot of debt: its debt is 2.28× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Stagwell in its business cycle? Stagwell Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 5.2%, against a 5-year range of 4.0% to 10.4%: the low end of its own range, which is often where recoveries start. The latest quarter was 2.6%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Stagwell story? The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +324.6% while the share price moved +126.5%. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Stagwell a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Stagwell Inc.'s share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already grown. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
