WPP plc is a speculative turnaround play with a Buy rating and a £4/share price target, reflecting deep undervaluation. WPP faces ongoing structural challenges, client losses, and slow AI adoption, but manageable debt and cost-cutting support a potential recovery. Even under conservative assumptions — negative AEPS growth, margin pressure, and a halved dividend — WPP could deliver triple-digit returns over two years.

WPP plc (WPP) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

WPP PLC shares fell 4.5% to 260p after the advertising group unveiled a sweeping overhaul and cost-cutting plan as new chief executive Cindy Rose acknowledged recent underperformance and set out a three-year path back to growth. The group, which dropped out of the FTSE 100 in December, said it will move from a holding company structure to a single integrated company, streamlined into four operating units – WPP Media, WPP Creative, WPP Production and WPP Enterprise Solutions – across four regions.

New boss Cindy Rose outlined her plan to lift the advertising group out of the doldrums as the board cut its final dividend to 7.5 pence a share from 24.4 pence a year before.

WPP will combine its agencies into a single company underpinned by AI and data, with four units including a new "WPP Creative", under Chief Executive Cindy Rose's strategy to turn around the ad group after operating profit fell 23%.

One of the world's largest advertising agencies disclosed a stunning trove of seemingly confidential client data in an attempt to defend itself against accusations of operating self-enriching rebate schemes.
