Don’t give up your day job Porshey boy, every stock you have tipped on here has been plummeting since. Christ no bloody wonder you are so angry.

Porsche the market disagrees with you big time!

From 18.90 Jan 2017 to now this has lost what, 40 pc of its value and pays a shxtty little dividend. Glad I bailed on this and all the other ftse 100 dross and bought the S&P and Nasdaq. dire. Digital advertising, think goog, fb, snap, trade desk, Amzn, are the nails in the coffin for wpp. Terminal. Will be back at 8 quid this time next year.

Your eyesight ain't bad buddy.

[mo123] 03/11/2021 10:16

Bit of weekend reading.

My eyesight is not what it was but I think the share price is just about at a 3 year high. We are certainly back to pre-Covid levels and given that the restructuring started before the crash my simplistic mind is thinking that there ought to be more gas in the tank here. Management have certainly shaken things up but we could do with a bigger dividend.

Still believe WPP are undervalued vs their competitors especially Publics listed in Paris.
Omnicom are the weak player at the moment.
IPG doing OK.

Good to see such a credible poster as yourself here too Mo! Your posts are full of content both here and Investec. On which subject let's hope Investec's results match those of WPP! Have held both since the bowels of the pandemic.

Analysts at JP Morgan upgrade to 1330, while Citi called it a “blowout” performance and added the trading update should increase the sense that WPP's recovery is "not just cyclical but structural, creating a platform for a rerating".

[riviera1069] 28/10/2021 09:08

We've been saying for 6 months now that this should fly through the 10 quid hurdle. It always falls back.Maybe this time it will hold and continue it's leg up.Great update

super statement, bullish prospects.

WPP, an advertising and public relations company, posted 3Q like-for-like revenue less pass-through costs rose 15.7% on year to 2.64 billion pounds and has raised its full-year growth guidance to 11.5% - 12.0% from 9.0% - 10.0% previously.

This should fly above £10, been buying recently as the sector is experiencing unprecedented growth

[boozey] 05/8/2021 08:08

Very solid results plus buyback programme.

[suetballs] 04/8/2021 17:15

Half year results tomorrow.
We need some good news to get us back to £10.
A nice divi would be welcome as well.

An acquaintance of mine is part of a small advertising set up that was experiencing very difficult times because of the pandemic. As the second wave started to develop the firm started to get all manner of work from the government who were anxious to employ every form of media in the fight against the virus. The upshot is that the firm is now booming with last year's results well ahead of 2019 and prospects for 2021 looking very rosey. My suspicion is that this pattern will be repeated in all of the ad agencies with WPP being a big beneficiary.

[boozey] 29/4/2021 17:33

The best thing about WPP's strong performance is S4 Capital has to work even harder to catch up on market cap - Sorrell's personal goal and obsession! I hold both.

[riviera1069] 28/4/2021 08:08

Nice TU.Should surpass 10 quid today.

From HL todayWPP is one of the world's leading marketing business' and makes lots of its money from traditional marketing agency work. To give an idea of scale, as at April last year, the giant employed over 106,000 people across 112 countries. Its clients include 348 members of the Fortune Global 500 and 69 companies from the FTSE100.But giants feel pain too, and the pandemic took a hammer blow to profits. Operating profit of £1.3bn in 2019 swung to a £2.3bn loss for the last financial year. That reflects the revenue decline as blue-chip clients reined in marketing spending. WPP was forced to recognise some of its assets were simply worth less than they had once been.Its huge size is both WPP's biggest asset, and biggest challenge. We'll go with the difficult stuff first.Pre-pandemic, WPP was grappling with the changing face of marketing – namely the rapid increase in demand for digital analytics and platforms. And the group's sprawling size means progress was slow and messy. This risk of losing market share will still exist when the pandemic's over.But the pandemic has actually injected some hope into the mix. It's kickstarted more extreme efforts to refocus the business and streamline. The accelerated shift to online shopping also means e-commerce advertising is a huge opportunity – WPP is expecting double digit ecommerce growth in all but one region for 2021.We're also intrigued by the group's assertion that demand for its PR and reputation products are on the up. The current climate of cancel-culture and increased environmental and social pressures, means this could be a long-term growth opportunity.A hoard of hefty existing clients, including HSBC and Unilever, gives the group a good base on which to build. Especially as these large customers tend to change direction slowly, giving the group a reasonably sticky customer base. A much healthier balance sheet – net debt (readily available assets minus debt) of £0.7bn is the lowest it's been since 2004 – also gives the group some breathing room to get its house in order.Overall, WPP has a genuine opportunity to come out of the pandemic thriving. Its existing scale and accelerated transformation efforts means it has all the right tools to execute its so called "pivot to digital". But the speed of that spin is what's crucial – take too long and new business wins will fatally falter.For now, analysts predict a 3.2% yield over the next 12 months, so investors are being paid for their patience. Remember, yields are variable and are not a reliable indicator of future income
