An announcement from WPP ( (WPP) ) is now available.

On 26 February 2026, WPP unveiled a multi-year strategic plan branded ‘Elevate28’ alongside its 2025 preliminary results, outlining a major reorganisation intended to simplify its structure and improve growth. Under new CEO Cindy Rose, who has been in the role for six months, WPP plans to shift from a holding company to a single integrated company built around four operating units—WPP Media, WPP Creative, WPP Production and WPP Enterprise Solutions—delivering AI-enabled, fully integrated solutions across four global regions.

Management framed the overhaul as a response to recent underperformance driven by organisational complexity, fragmented operations and inconsistent strategy execution, issues they argue are within the company’s control to fix. By unifying its offerings under the WPP Open agentic marketing platform and streamlining governance, WPP aims to stabilise the business, return to organic growth and create capacity for future investment, with the goal of strengthening its competitive position and delivering better long-term value for clients, employees and shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (WPP) stock is a Hold with a $22.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WPP stock, see the WPP Stock Forecast page.
