Pomerantz Law Firm Launches Investigation into WPP plc for Investor Claims
On July 31, 2025, Pomerantz LLP announced an investigation into WPP plc, a significant player in the marketing and advertising sector, concerning potential securities fraud that might have impacted investors. This development occurred following WPP's alarming announcement on July 8, where they expressed a downward revision of their revenue guidance for 2025. The company projected a decrease in revenue between 3% and 5%, raising red flags among its stakeholders. Notably, this revised guidance came alongside WPP’s expectations of a significant year-on-year decline in headline operating profit margins, estimated to be between 50 to 175 basis points, excluding the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations.
The pessimistic outlook suggests that WPP is grappling with a tightening economic environment leading to a noticeable decline in performance as the second quarter progressed. "Against a challenging economic backdrop, we have seen a deterioration in performance..." stated a representative from WPP, acknowledging the macroeconomic uncertainties affecting client spending, and a lower-than-expected influx of new business opportunities.
The direct consequence of such revelations was observed on July 9, when WPP's American Depositary Receipt (ADR) plummeted by $6.48, marking an 18.09% drop, and closing at $29.34 per ADR. This sharp decline has prompted Pomerantz LLP to take action on behalf of affected investors, urging them to reach out to the firm. Investors facing potential losses are encouraged to connect with Danielle Peyton at Pomerantz for consultations.
