Thank you Plat, much appreciated and disclaimer understood!

[plat hunter] 04/4/2019 12:10

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 12:06

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 08:24

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

[plat hunter] 04/4/2019 08:09

Waiting for the triple bottom

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

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

Lower expectations and beat them

Digital marketing is the future.

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...

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.

[montyhedge] 07/2/2019 12:57

Looking at Publisis results WPP must be affected, the old boss Sorrel, with S4 Capital gone into digital thats where the action is going to be.

Shareprice telling you that S4 Capital all time high, WPP all time low.

[gabsterx] 07/2/2019 12:08

D/E ratio is at a reasonable 0.7, current ratio at 1 and interest cover at a comfortable 11. I don't see debt as an issue. Dividend is also well covered by both earnings and FCF. I see the company as heavily undervalued and oversold.

WPP and the industry as a whole has been under a barrage of negative news and fear which has dropped the share price way more than the fundamentals would suggest. In the meantime we're getting a massive 7.5% yield to wait for a reversion to the mean.

[bookbroker] 07/2/2019 11:52

Having said that they are more than covered by interest payments, and the likelihood of asset sales, and the maturity of the debt!

[bookbroker] 07/2/2019 11:50

Problem here is the massive debts accrued!

[careful] 07/2/2019 11:39

60% down in 2 years.
I regret buying these after a fall, with or without Sorrel.
I am well underwater.

Cannot help but feel that this industry has been severely disrupted by the FANG crowd.
is there a place for this long term, awaiting results in a few weeks.

Don't think so I see 735p.

[technowiz] 07/2/2019 09:14

Publicis they are a french ad company? their results out yesterday? is this reason for today's drop? i bought some on that huge drop this morning!

[montyhedge] 07/2/2019 08:20

Wow Publicis sent shockwaves through the old fashion ad agencies.

[montyhedge] 31/1/2019 15:45

I reckon 3 years time Sorrell's new shell S4Capital will have a bigger market cap than WPP, madness sacking your No.1 man.
