IMO this is due to UBS Sell rating.

WPP’s recent strength batted off as UBS doubles down on ‘sell’ rating
Published: 15:53 06 Jan 2025 GMT

WPP PLC (LSE:WPP)’s recent rebound has failed to shift sentiment at UBS, which doubled down on a ‘sell’ rating for the advertising firm on poor prospects ahead.

Though UBS upped WPP’s share price target from 680p to 720p, the bank suggested a resurgence in its share price since the summer was unlikely to last.

“We think this reflects a strong performance in account wins during [the second half of 2024],” UBS said in a note, pointing to deals with the likes of Amazon and Unilever.

“However, in our view the upcoming catalyst path remains negative and we retain our sell rating.”

Guidance for 2025, which UBS forecast would lay out growth of 1-2%, was likely to “underwhelm,” analysts said.

Performance over the year was also set to be second-half weighted, leaving little scope for organic growth in the coming months as recent strength in account reviews could reverse.

“It recently lost the US$500 million Volvo media account, and its Mars account is under review,” UBS flagged.

UBS cut WPP’s 2025 margin estimate from 15.1% to 14.9% and also signalled lower earnings per share expectations for the year.

Shares fell by 3.3% to 787.40p on Monday.

MARKET REPORT: Finally some New Year cheer for WPP investorshttps://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-12931581/MARKET-REPORT-Finally-New-Year-cheer-WPP-investors.html

Victim of the upcoming recession.
Advertising the first to be hit, shipping rates also.
both collapsing.

Sorrel's new venture SFOR had a share price collapse after its results a short time ago.

As you say, share price cut in half, difficult to make money in the UK market.
Although WPP is an international operation.

Profit, dividends are dirty words.
UK not a free market capitalist country.

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
