WPP ( (GB:WPP) ) just unveiled an update.
WPP reported that all 20 resolutions put to shareholders at its 2026 Annual General Meeting were approved, including the receipt of the 2025 annual report, the declaration of a final dividend and the reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor. Shareholders also backed the re‑election and election of board members, the director compensation policy and authorities related to share issuance, share buybacks and the disapplication of pre‑emption rights.
While support was strong across most items, votes on the compensation report, directors’ compensation policy and authority to allot securities showed higher levels of dissent than other resolutions. The overall outcome reinforces the board’s strategic and capital-allocation flexibility, but the pockets of opposition on pay and capital authorities highlight ongoing shareholder scrutiny of governance and remuneration at the marketing giant.
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.
