Wpp Share Discussion Threads

[winner31] 31/5/2018 13:48

Advisory group ISS has recommended voting in favor of all resolutions proposed by the board of WPP PLC (WPP.LN) ahead of the company's annual general meeting, the first since the departure of former chief executive Martin Sorrell.

In a report to investors, ISS gave its support to Executive Chairman Roberto Quarta saying that it is in the best interests of shareholders to have continuity in the leadership, given the board's response and actions after the exit of Mr. Sorrell. Last month, Mr. Sorrell stepped down from the company he founded more than three decades ago following the conclusion of an investigation into an allegation of personal misconduct. Mr. Sorrell denied any wrongdoing.

The transaction with S4 Capital constitutes a reverse takeover under the Listing Rules and as a result the Company has requested a suspension of listing of its shares.

This is normal procedure with a RTO.

Certaily not a boring share to invest in

Congrats to those who bought the Sorrell dip,
my view is now looking far too cautious.

Yes Asturias ,my misses got 1000 of theses in her is a .. she’s holding until 2000p 😬😊

Yes. I got in at 1127 after Sorrell resigned, so I've been pleased with the WPP share performance since. I think there is still upside. There is the announcement of the new CEO which may be positive. My case for investing in the first place was the reaction to Sorrell going was overdone as he was too expensive and the business could benefit from a fresh set of eyes to release some more value for shareholders.

crikey, doubt we will see the £10 zone again! Decided to top slice a few today, still holding a large amt as a % in my pf though - anyone else still holding?

[blueteam] 10/5/2018 08:33

With share buybacks and news can see this back to £14 easily, to break that £14 may be more difficult, so a while to go yet.
