Posted at 06/1/2024 01:06 by livewireplus MARKET REPORT: Finally some New Year cheer for WPP investorshttps://www |
Posted at 01/1/2023 01:56 by hades1 2023 tip in today's Sunday Telegraph James Warrington, media and telecoms correspondent: WPPBosses at WPP probably feel a bit hard done by. Despite robust trading, the advertising giant saw its shares slump by almost 30pc in 2022. Now, digital advertising budgets are already shrinking and a wider recession is looming, with ad spend invariably the first to get cut. Despite all this, there could just be an upside for investors. With a market value of around £9bn half what it was worth when Sir Martin Sorrell was ousted in 2018 WPP looks primed for a takeover. If a suitor comes knocking, shareholders will be in line for a healthy windfall. If not, there's probably more pain ahead.Eir Nolsøe, economics correspondent: Enphase EnergyIf there was ever a time to invest in renewables, this is surely it. The energy crunch is forcing European economies and companies to rapidly accelerate investment decisions that would ordinarily have happened over a much longer time span.In every crisis, there are winners and losers. Energy-intensive industries will have to reinvent or risk faltering, while renewables have much to gain from countries scrambling to secure their supply |
Posted at 16/4/2021 15:31 by riviera1069 From HL todayWPP is one of the world's leading marketing business' and makes lots of its money from traditional marketing agency work. To give an idea of scale, as at April last year, the giant employed over 106,000 people across 112 countries. Its clients include 348 members of the Fortune Global 500 and 69 companies from the FTSE100.But giants feel pain too, and the pandemic took a hammer blow to profits. Operating profit of £1.3bn in 2019 swung to a £2.3bn loss for the last financial year. That reflects the revenue decline as blue-chip clients reined in marketing spending. WPP was forced to recognise some of its assets were simply worth less than they had once been.Its huge size is both WPP's biggest asset, and biggest challenge. We'll go with the difficult stuff first.Pre-pandemic, WPP was grappling with the changing face of marketing namely the rapid increase in demand for digital analytics and platforms. And the group's sprawling size means progress was slow and messy. This risk of losing market share will still exist when the pandemic's over.But the pandemic has actually injected some hope into the mix. It's kickstarted more extreme efforts to refocus the business and streamline. The accelerated shift to online shopping also means e-commerce advertising is a huge opportunity WPP is expecting double digit ecommerce growth in all but one region for 2021.We're also intrigued by the group's assertion that demand for its PR and reputation products are on the up. The current climate of cancel-culture and increased environmental and social pressures, means this could be a long-term growth opportunity.A hoard of hefty existing clients, including HSBC and Unilever, gives the group a good base on which to build. Especially as these large customers tend to change direction slowly, giving the group a reasonably sticky customer base. A much healthier balance sheet net debt (readily available assets minus debt) of £0.7bn is the lowest it's been since 2004 also gives the group some breathing room to get its house in order.Overall, WPP has a genuine opportunity to come out of the pandemic thriving. Its existing scale and accelerated transformation efforts means it has all the right tools to execute its so called "pivot to digital". But the speed of that spin is what's crucial take too long and new business wins will fatally falter.For now, analysts predict a 3.2% yield over the next 12 months, so investors are being paid for their patience. Remember, yields are variable and are not a reliable indicator of future income |
Posted at 21/7/2020 22:23 by thewheeliedealer Hi all,My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion covers WPP and the prospects for the Marketing sector. Peter C3 actually interviewed Sir Martin Sorrell at a recent Investor Show. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and as always a fair bit of general Portfolio Management educational stuff. Anyway, if you use Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want TPI Podcast 27) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, Cheers, WD @wheeliedealer |
Posted at 27/8/2019 09:38 by flyinggogo Wonder when we will be told about the plans for returning the kantar cash back to investors, and what form it might take? |
Posted at 18/7/2019 15:12 by venezuela45 This one must be due a dividend cut soon. More bad news for investors given the poor share price performance |
Posted at 27/6/2019 12:40 by tgkg Bigger investors are buying today. What do they know, which I don't. Looks like it's going to increase if they invest in it. These guys always make money on shares |
Posted at 15/4/2019 10:26 by gabsterx Most of their profits come from overseas so I don't see why they would be intrinsically tied to Brexit other than investor sentiment. If the pound collapses they would benefit as their biggest earnings are in USD. |
Posted at 07/2/2019 13:01 by gabsterx Monty, true but as a long term investor I am more interested in fundamentals than short term price fluctuations. WPP is restructuring and it will take more than 2 or 3 quarters to turn around a battleship this size. |
Posted at 29/10/2018 09:46 by careful a fall of almost 60% in less than 2 years is a disaster.no doubt the new management and the promise of drastic action will result in huge write downs at year end. still holding, the consensus was that this was a sound company 2 years ago. These highly paid professional investors could not get it that wrong could they? |
