These two disagree on this pair: the Value pillar ranks cheapness against sector peers, while price-vs-fair-value is an absolute read. A name can be the better value in its sector and still the dearer one on cash flows.
The DCF is a cross-check on intrinsic value, separate from the quality-growth score above.

The companies
OMCOmnicom Group Inc.
Why now
Advertising Agencies · market cap $24.2b. Trading near 52-week high of $88.40 — momentum setup, limited technical margin of safety. Revenue growing +26% — in hypergrowth territory. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $102.08 (implying +16% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Trading within 0% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Net margin 0.3% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 1% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
STGWStagwell Inc.
Why now
Advertising Agencies · market cap $2.3b. Trading near 52-week high of $9.55 — momentum setup, limited technical margin of safety. PEG 0.39 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 7 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $9.86 (implying +6% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
D/E 2.41 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Trailing P/E 155.2x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Trading within 3% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction.

Where OMC and STGW diverge
On the headline score the gap is 11.5 points in favour of STGW. They get there differently, though — each leads on a different pillar, so the better pick depends on which you weight.
- ValueOMC 20.9 · STGW 52.6STGW +31.7
- GrowthOMC 77.4 · STGW 55.8OMC +21.6
- QualityOMC 43.8 · STGW 50.4STGW +6.6
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers, so a score is a statement about a company relative to its own industry rather than to the other name here. A wide Value gap usually means the market already prices the difference in quality or growth — which is the trade-off this comparison comes down to.
