Deutsche Bank raised its price target for WPP PLC (LSE:WPP), maintaining a positive view on UK media and online stocks despite pressure on project-based revenues and new-customer sales. WPP shares traded at 381.70p, up 1%, while Deutsche Bank retained its 'buy' rating and raised its target price to 555p from 425p.
WPP alleges in a legal filing that a former exec improperly leaked sensitive information in his lawsuit against the company. WPP is asking the court to seal several paragraphs, figures, and exhibits from the lawsuit.
WPP Plc (WPP) shows improving leading indicators, with new business wins and client retention pointing to revenue stabilization. Debt concerns are materially reduced, supported by disposals, strong liquidity, and no imminent refinancing needs, with investment-grade credit intact. WPP remains in revenue decline while peers like Omnicom grow, justifying a valuation discount despite operational improvements. But the current discount is maybe harsh.
