In the second part of a two-part update, Investor’s Champion has got reassuring news from three well-known names that have performed well during the pandemic, including WPP.

Share buy backs are linked to the way executive performance bonuses are calculated, nothing more.
They would have made sense a few months ago before the shares recovered.

Borrowing money at low interest rates to buy back cheap shares is smart.
They could have borrowed cheaply as they have low debt and bought at an average of 600p.

Today they will pay over 900p.
OPM...Other peoples money.

My general view of share buybacks is that they are sign of a clueless (and often inept) management who are unable to come up with any investment ideas that are likely to result in a higher return than the cost of capital employed. Slightly surprised that one has been announced here as things appear to be going well and from reports that I've heard the firm is very busy. I just hope that the operational recovery in combination with the buyback produces a rather better result for shareholders than I've experienced elsewhere.

So they started their share buy back tonightOver 500000 shares at an average of 920p.Wonder if it's their intention to do that every day?

I like these numbers which demonstrate good cash flow despite the disruption of Covid. The balance sheet also looks tighter with intangibles very sharply down since 2018, borrowing balanced by cash (ie net gearing c.zero) and a healthy level of shareholders funds. With Biden sloshing cash around the system and pent up demand from consumers due to Covid, the services of people like WPP could be in sharply increased demand as 2021 progresses. The only negative for me is the share buyback: I hate them and see no benefit to small shareholders who could be looking at a less generous dividend regime in the future than has been seen in the past. Nevertheless, I am expecting the share price to do at least as well as anybody else in any general recovery from here.

Fairly solid set of results. Encouraging to see debt down and share buyback in place. Should float up nicely to 1000

sp moving nicely towards £10.
In full agreement with the post above - when global growth picks up this will be a significant winner.

Investor's Champion comments in their latest commentary:

With the IMF forecasting global economic growth of 5.5% in 2021 and 4.2% in 2022, those cash piles could be unleashed in future months leading to increased demand for WPP’s services, as consumer and business confidence gradually returns.

Very quiet Board considering the steady progress in the share price Results are due soon and it will be good to see how the reorganisation and cost cutting is progressing. Off topic I notice that Martin Sorrel is a big critic of moves by the Government to make Directors personally responsible for the accounting conventions that their companies adopt. I wonder why!

No need to wrap this in culture war terms.

WPP had arguably become unwieldy. It needed simplification.

Martin has enjoyed exceptional success since so good on him.

WPP (NYSE: WPP) was today, 27 Jan 21, named in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the third consecutive year. The Index recognises companies committed to advancing gender equality in the workplace through policy development, representation and transparency.

Three years ago the founder of the company, Martin Sorrel was back stabbed, and forced out of the company he had Built over 39 years into the world leading company in its sector.

Pale and Stale man made of the right stuff, who worked his PA's too hard, then founded a new company S4 Capital whose share price is rocketing whilst WPP share price has been steadily falling.

WPP is a global business, it has SFA to do with Brexit.

It's largely a play on global growth and whether the organisation can successfully

navigate a rapidly changing ad market with migration to digital.

Their remaining majority stake in Kantar may be worth circa £3 bn alone.

Desperate for this pile of steaming sxxt to get to my break even so I can unload and continue exiting all covid brexit basket case U.K. investments, switch to US dollars and stick to the S&P and developed Asia. The next meltdown for U.K. as Scots leave union to rejoin EU, who can blame them, more currency and stock market trashing and can’t see dire tories surviving much longer, who needs the grief, invest elsewhere like the intelligent money does.

Not much news from the company lately but press mentions of a large scale move to home working saving millions in costs may be helping the share price Much firmer feel to things here.

Good share price movement here over the past few days and we are now higher than at any time since the March crash. Encouraging!
