Investors Urged to Act: WPP Class Action Lawsuit Approaches Key Deadline

Investors Alert: Imminent Deadline for WPP Class Action

In the realm of securities litigation, a significant opportunity is presenting itself for investors of WPP plc. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, is sounding the alarm as the deadline for becoming a lead plaintiff in a major class action lawsuit approaches—set for December 8, 2025. For investors who suffered losses while investing in WPP between February 27, 2025, and July 8, 2025, this date marks a critical point for potential legal recourse.

James (Josh) Wilson, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, is proactively reaching out to affected shareholders, encouraging them to evaluate their rights regarding this matter. Investors are urged to understand how they may have been impacted by the allegedly misleading financial statements from WPP’s executives which have been called into question through this lawsuit.

The foundation of the lawsuit rests on claims that WPP and its leadership made several false or misleading statements, thereby failing to disclose critical information about the company’s fiscal health and expected revenue for 2025. The legal complaint describes a pattern of overly optimistic communications from WPP, including assurances of effective strategies to enhance its media division and references to anticipated wins in retaining clients. However, these assertions are now being scrutinized, as the lawsuit alleges that the truth about the company's struggles was concealed from investors.

In particular, the complaint points out a distinct shift in WPP's financial performance, which became evident with a trading update released on July 9, 2025. In this update, the firm acknowledged a significant decline in its performance as the second quarter progressed. The company’s leadership attributed this downturn to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties affecting client spend and less than expected new business initiatives. Such admissions led to a steep drop in WPP’s stock price, plunging nearly 18.1% in just one day, from $35.82 to $29.34 per share.

The role of the lead plaintiff in a class action is crucial, as this investor will represent the interests of all class members, managing the litigation process effectively. It is essential for any investor wishing to take on this role to act swiftly, as the deadline for applying as a lead plaintiff is fast approaching.

Faruqi & Faruqi emphasizes that even those investors who do not wish to assume the lead plaintiff role can benefit from participating in the lawsuit, as their rights to any potential recovery will not be hampered. Furthermore, the firm is open to receiving information from anyone connected to WPP’s recent conduct, including whistleblowers, current or former employees, and other shareholders.

This lawsuit signifies a substantial step for concerned investors of WPP, enabling them to seek justice and recover losses. For more information on participating in this class action or for any inquiries about WPP’s financial practices, interested parties can contact Faruqi & Faruqi directly at the provided numbers. As the class action deadline draws near, the urgency for affected investors to act cannot be overstated.
