WPP ( (GB:WPP) ) has issued an announcement.
WPP reported the results of its 2026 annual general meeting, confirming that all 20 resolutions on the agenda were passed, including the receipt of the 2025 annual report, approval of the final dividend, re-election and election of board directors, and the reappointment and fee authorisation for its auditor. Shareholders also backed authorities for the board to allot securities, buy back shares and disapply pre-emption rights, reinforcing the company’s financial flexibility and capital management options.
The company highlighted that while the Compensation Committee Report and the Directors’ Compensation Policy both secured clear majorities, they fell short of the 80% shareholder support threshold referenced in the UK Corporate Governance Code. In response, WPP’s board committed to engage with major shareholders who opposed these pay-related resolutions, with a view to understanding their concerns and providing an update within six months, underscoring ongoing scrutiny of executive remuneration and governance at the group.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:WPP) stock is a Hold with a £2.85 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WPP stock, see the GB:WPP Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on WPP Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WPP is a Neutral.
Overall score reflects weakened financial performance in 2025 (losses and higher leverage) and a clearly bearish technical trend (price below all key moving averages). These are partially offset by resilient (though declining) cash generation, supportive income characteristics via a high dividend yield, and an earnings-call outlook that combines near-term revenue/margin headwinds with concrete cost-savings actions and improving new-business momentum.
