The lack of interest in this on ADVFN is remarkable. Normally that's a good sign but I think that here it might not be.

Poor update from SFOR not helping

May be as reaction/downgrade following OMC figures.

Very weak share price of late and with the interims due on the 4th August one wonders whether something negative is on the horizon.

[careful] 23/2/2023 08:50

Great results today.
Share price rise justified.
Much more to come here.

2023 tip in today's Sunday Telegraph James Warrington, media and telecoms correspondent: WPPBosses at WPP probably feel a bit hard done by. Despite robust trading, the advertising giant saw its shares slump by almost 30pc in 2022. Now, digital advertising budgets are already shrinking and a wider recession is looming, with ad spend invariably the first to get cut. Despite all this, there could just be an upside for investors. With a market value of around £9bn – half what it was worth when Sir Martin Sorrell was ousted in 2018 – WPP looks primed for a takeover. If a suitor comes knocking, shareholders will be in line for a healthy windfall. If not, there's probably more pain ahead.Eir Nolsøe, economics correspondent: Enphase EnergyIf there was ever a time to invest in renewables, this is surely it. The energy crunch is forcing European economies and companies to rapidly accelerate investment decisions that would ordinarily have happened over a much longer time span.In every crisis, there are winners and losers. Energy-intensive industries will have to reinvent or risk faltering, while renewables have much to gain from countries scrambling to secure their supply

Will hit £10 with all the revenue that the World Cup will generate

[smurfy2001] 02/9/2022 08:25

I agree and because of that the investment here is no longer compelling

[porsche1945] 01/9/2022 14:15

Their net asset value since 2018 has more than halved, thats why share price is where it is, a lot of debt, not great margins ( a third less than publicis ) and buy backs had held it up. I actually think this will re visit covid lows, UK and its index are fxcked anyway, brexit.

For 2022, the Board is declaring an interim dividend of 15.0p, an increase of 20% year-on-year. The record date for the interim dividend is 14 October 2022, and the dividend will be payable on 1 November 2022.

[adrian j boris] 27/8/2022 17:01

Calendar
10/13 Ex-dividend day for interim dividend



can it,will it sink further after ex divi date

[smurfy2001] 26/8/2022 14:31

Looks like support has not held. Adding to the watch list as a possible new investment.

Shame they massively increased their debt.

[dudishes] 26/8/2022 11:09

Was watching Marshal Wace, increased short psn 18th Aug.

Followed them in.

cheers

Interesting idea to sell intangibles, I would have thought not but WTFDIK

[adrian j boris] 08/8/2022 09:03

Amazed at the size if intangibles

could they be revalued and sold to pay off debt

[deanmatlazin] 08/8/2022 07:12

In at £8.00

divi up , profit up but share price down. I am sure hedgy has to close its shorts position

[gswredland] 05/8/2022 15:06

Agree entirely with your sentiment Rogue
I think many stocks will fall away after recent boosts and we now have Tiawan!
Not a bad dividend if ADVFN is to be believed

[roguetraderuk] 05/8/2022 10:27

to provide context i dont own any any more so that gap would be a rebuilding starting point for me personally. id no way suggest dropping the hammer on it there. as you say theres a fair bit of reworld repricing to do and that means theres a fair chance things get cheaper.

[essentialinvestor] 05/8/2022 10:25

Needs to get below £7.90 before I would consider adding any back,
like many cyclicals this bounced hard from the early July lows.


rogue, agree with your view outlined above which also applies to
multiple other sectors.

Price action is well ahead of weakening fundamentals (for many stocks) but would expect further downside
once confirmation of weaker trading occurs.
