Looking for report of good progress tomorrow, divvy, and forward plan.
Business is going to turn to their services to get going again, I think.
Ahh thanks for that...But could you explain that in English...not sure what that means but think you think it's going upwards.....well that's good took the plunge at £9.....bit new to this share dealing malarkey
The moving averages on the daily timeframe suggest a bullishness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a bullish alignment -- meaning the shorter durations are above the longer duration averages, implying a sound upward trend.
Good luck
Final results this week...Thoughts anyone? should I buy before or after or not at all? I do hold a bit of stock already..
that would be nice.
It is time for 9 £.
If successful, WPP hopes it will achieve 3 to 4 per cent annual growth in revenue less pass-through costs from 2023, as well as double-digit headline EPS growth over the next three years. Mr Read could change investors’ perception of WPP as a sluggish beast still stuck in a declining traditional advertising sector, into a leader in smart, data-led marketing services. But a delayed response in a highly competitive arena means that this will be a difficult feat. Instead, we think the most likely beneficiaries from WPP’s new growth plan will be Aim investors with a hand in smaller, smarter firms.

Nice rising trend.
£9 here we come.
Recovering businesses will need to spend on advertising, I think.

Momentum still going. SP back to pre Covid levels. Performed well despite Covid. Looks promising for next update.
Looking forward to trading news Thursday.
Interesting new board appointment, great networker and experience.
Recovery will demand great advertising skills, I think.
£7 here we come.
Decent rise today plus a 10p divvi. Can't complain. £7.17 next gap.

Current trading showing sequential improvement on Q2 but market remains volatile:
July LFL revenue less pass-through costs : -9.2%.
US -6.1%,
UK-10.5%,
Germany -7.2%,
Greater China -18.6%,
India -15.5%
£4.7 billion of liquidity
Losses attributable to share owners were £2.6 billion, again reflecting principally the £2.7 billion of impairments and £92 million of other net exceptional losses.
strong controls over working capital, and the flexibility of our business model is delivering the £700-800 million of cost savings targeted
Board considers it appropriate to declare an interim dividend for 2020 of 10p per share
China is expected to see only a 2.8% decline in the advertising market this year, reflecting its strong underlying economic growth and a rapid and successful response to the pandemic.
Major markets in Europe, on the other hand, are forecast to decline 10-20% given the more sustained lockdowns and lower underlying growth.
The USA is expected to decline 7.5%, or -12.9% excluding political spend.
IMHO a polished poor performance, but who's a clairvoyant? CV-19 has decimated advertising and that will be seen across all holding companies. I've not been bowled over by the Mark Read plan, and in my eyes since Sir Martin moved on I've seen few examples of 'fresh blood' within the senior leadership teams across divisions. My money has been in SFOR for a while as Sir Martin has his sights set firmly on the WPP market cap value, and take a look at the trend lines. WPP used to be safe bet for the pension funds, far less so these days. GLA
What's people's thoughts on tomorrow
Hope so. Ripe for take off....headwinds are unfolding one by one.
Looks like a rise on the back of the Stella form of s4, as I’ve seen nothing Stella here , but what do I know.
I do think revenue will rise mid term as I expect businesses to try and be inventive and will find the need to invest in advertising to try to attract new trade. Fingers crossed
Agree short term not great with companies cutting back budgets and this will be one area. However WPP will stick around having seen off previous crises since its inception. Can see sp dipping once recession bites / furlough ends in October but buying now with a view to averaging down if necessary later on.
Me, I wouldn't bother here, S4 is a much better bet with MS in charge!
sold half @7
WH Smith has had an incredible boune, do you see people buying their magazines in their shops.? Touching a mag after someone else. PE above 20 and linked to travel sector. Losing 50 mil a month.
Meanwhile, we have had virtually nothing with a lower PE and tons more cash on hand and more ability to add value as our tech holdings are increasing. Eventually this will get moving right now, it is reviled. Right now we accumulate as REad is cutting the dead wood and planting the green shoots. Multi year play though.
If the market contracts, and competition increases, it would be a totally wrong move to reduce advertising spend. It has a huge impact on market share.
plenty of upside
tp £9
forming nice pattern...
who knows how appallingly slow the recovery will *actually* be...there's plenty of scope for (over)optimism in the next few weeks
