Yes, looking good here. 2 upcoming price triggers, trading update where anything remotely in line will help to rerate as last update was a kitchen sink job and secondly we are expecting an update on the sale of Kantar although conflicting rumours on achievable price.

Anyway.. another breakout recorded so who cares :-P

[plat hunter] 16/4/2019 12:38

See latest comments from Donald Tusk and Nancy Pelosi.

Very positive for those who are apposed to Brexit and we're up almost 2%

Foot note.. Correlation does not always equal causation. We all die and we all eat potatoes but potatoes aren't dangerous to life. Unless of course they are deep fried and served in large quantities on a daily basis.

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.

Congrats, do you have a target?

[plat hunter] 10/4/2019 12:57

And it's a breakout.Day 1 profit, happy days

[plat hunter] 09/4/2019 20:20

Buying here tomorrow.. looks like it's trading at top of its range but could be a breakout and happy to top up, if it falls back towards 800.

Thank you Plat, much appreciated and disclaimer understood!

[plat hunter] 04/4/2019 11:10

Just my opinion of course and full disclaimer.. i'm looking at adding here at as close as i can to those bottoms.

[plat hunter] 04/4/2019 11:06

Successive lows have been 810 and 802 respectively.If the next low is higher than 810 then it shows support and likely a base will build until the interim's. Lower than 802 on the next dip will suggest more downside to come.

[pete160] 04/4/2019 07:24

Because I'm not a chartist, where are you thinking that level will be?

[plat hunter] 04/4/2019 07:09

Waiting for the triple bottom

[cwa1] 26/3/2019 16:14

Had a small nibble at a touch under £8 in the hope it might be a reasonable medium term entry price. Time will tell.

[chrisdgb] 15/3/2019 13:13

Would be nice to get a juicy price for % of Kantar, wonder when we hear............????

[mj19] 01/3/2019 11:08

Lower expectations and beat them

[montyhedge] 01/3/2019 10:00

Digital marketing is the future.

[tongostl] 01/3/2019 08:36

So it was WPP behind Gillette's infamous 'the best a man can be' campaign.....Don't be too surprised to see S4 taking over this contract at some point this year...

[gabsterx] 01/3/2019 08:17

I was expecting a total share price collapse after seeing the EPS numbers, dont really understand why it popped up but can't complain.

[careful] 01/3/2019 07:47

divi held.
results not good but maybe a bit better than expected after share price collapse.

Can WPP finally get some positive PR following its full year results on March 1st?

During October’s update, chief exec Mark Read said it would take ‘decisive action and radical thinking’ to turn the company around, including finding a buyer for its research group Kantar, valued at around £3 billion. This restructuring would cost a not insignificant £300 million over 3 years, in theory leading to savings of £275 million a year by the end of 2021.

As per December’s revised guidance, WPP is expecting full year like-for-like revenue less pass-through costs to fall around 0.5% – better than October’s estimates, but way off the previously suggested 0.3% rise. Any word on offloading Kantar, meanwhile, could end up being the headline story on Friday.

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.
