What are Wall Street analysts saying about MDC Partners stock?

- 1.

Its services includes advertising and media, interactive marketing, direct marketing, public relations, corporate communications, market research, corporate identity and branding, and sales promotion. The Company also provides mobile marketing, and database and customer relationship management services. MDC Corporation Inc. is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. " (5/15/2018)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We believe improving sentiment across the sector will support a higher multiple despite our 5% lowered FY’18 EBITDA forecast. We lift our target price to $11 from $10.50 and maintain Market Perform rating. A more conservative organic growth outlook. While maintaining their position that MDC maintains a durable competitive advantage vs. larger peers that should drive higher than average growth, management nonetheless acknowledged industry pressures facing their larger global holding company peers. While we do believe that the marketing landscape has become more accommodating for smaller, nimbler creative agencies, we also believe that MDCA faces many of the same pressures—including diminished visibility—as in most cases they share in the service of the same clients as their larger, growth challenged peers. To us, MDC’s preliminary forecast of 4% organic growth somewhat dilutes the narrative and is likely to lead to a material lowering of street forecasts." (2/23/2018)
