WPP Shares Look Poised for Volatility -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Apr 08

0936 GMT - WPP shares look poised for volatility until investors get answers to their questions around market share, AI adaptation and portfolio strategy, analysts at Citi say in a research note. The U.K. advertising group is facing investor debates about whether its market-share loss is structural or can be fixed, how it will perform in the AI era, and whether its portfolio is fit for the current environment, according to Citi. "We think it is most prudent to take a wait and see approach for clarity on these issues before taking a more positive or negative view," the analysts say. Citi keeps a neutral recommendation on WPP stock but considers it high risk due to potential share-price volatility. Shares rise 5.5% amid broad-based stock gains after the Iran cease-fire.
