there is one heck of a gap above. but i am still not convinced they need filling. you fill it in your head if you want to.
wpp is often the canary in the goldmine for a us recession. look at the correlation between the share price and us recessions in 2001-2 and 2008-9.
you have got to expect a potential for 320p given pending us recession. wtf wants to have big us holdings for anything other than very short term atm? there won't be many people advertising stuff over there, apart from therapy for ex-mag 7 holders

Looking ripe for a takeover in my view. A company that is valued now at GBP7.07B with a operating profit of GBP1.71 billion in 2024. Cheep as chips.

(Alliance News) - WPP PLC on Thursday guided flat to lower revenue in 2025, as it said "weaker client discretionary spend" in the fourth quarter of last year hurt its 2024 results.

WPP shares fell 18% in response, trading at 633.13 pence early Thursday in London. It was the worst performer in the FTSE 100 index, which itself was marginally lower.

The London-based advertising agency reported revenue less pass-through costs of GBP11.36 billion for 2024, down 4.2% from GBP11.86 billion in 2023. On a like-for-like basis, this was down 1.0%. Total revenue was GBP14.74 billion, down 0.7% from GBP14.85 billion, though up 2.3% on a like-for-like basis.

Looking ahead, WPP said its expects like-for-like revenue less pass-through costs to be flat to down 2% in 2025, with performance improving in the second half.

More positively, pretax profit was GBP1.03 billion in 2024, multiplying from GBP346 million in 2023. Operating profit also jumped, to GBP1.33 billion from GBP531 million, as operating profit margin improved to 9.0% from 3.6%.

However, on a headline basis, operating profit slipped 2.5% to GBP1.71 billion in 2024 from GBP1.75 billion in 2023, as headline operating profit margin improved only slightly to 15.0% from 14.8%.

In 2025, headline operating profit margin is expected to remain flat, WPP said.

WPP declared a 39.4 pence final dividend, unchanged from a year before. This means a full-year dividend of 39.4p, also unchanged. WPP had been expected to cut its annual dividend to 37.70p, according to market consensus cited by the Financial Times.

"Though we remain cautious given the overall macro environment, we are confident in our medium-term targets," said Chief Executive Officer Mark Read, citing in particular WPP's investments in artificial intelligence, data, and proprietary media.

IMO this is due to UBS Sell rating.

WPP’s recent strength batted off as UBS doubles down on ‘sell’ rating
Published: 15:53 06 Jan 2025 GMT

WPP PLC (LSE:WPP)’s recent rebound has failed to shift sentiment at UBS, which doubled down on a ‘sell’ rating for the advertising firm on poor prospects ahead.

Though UBS upped WPP’s share price target from 680p to 720p, the bank suggested a resurgence in its share price since the summer was unlikely to last.

“We think this reflects a strong performance in account wins during [the second half of 2024],” UBS said in a note, pointing to deals with the likes of Amazon and Unilever.

“However, in our view the upcoming catalyst path remains negative and we retain our sell rating.”

Guidance for 2025, which UBS forecast would lay out growth of 1-2%, was likely to “underwhelm,” analysts said.

Performance over the year was also set to be second-half weighted, leaving little scope for organic growth in the coming months as recent strength in account reviews could reverse.

“It recently lost the US$500 million Volvo media account, and its Mars account is under review,” UBS flagged.

UBS cut WPP’s 2025 margin estimate from 15.1% to 14.9% and also signalled lower earnings per share expectations for the year.

Shares fell by 3.3% to 787.40p on Monday.
