On June 9, Berenberg initiated coverage of WPP Plc (NYSE:WPP) with a Buy rating and a £405 price target. The research firm remains bullish on the stock despite the company losing ground in advertising to companies that pushed harder into data technology and other centralized models. Consequently, the company has experienced sales declines, pressured profitability, and a lower market cap.

Nevertheless, Berenberg expects the new management team to turn around WPP Plc’s fortunes by delivering on a simplification process. Wells Fargo expects WPP Plc to return to positive organic sales growth and margin expansion from 2028.

The bounce back would come as the company boasts of global scale, heritage, blue-chip clients, and the ability to deliver integrated brands. Wells Fargo also expects WPP Plc to achieve dividend yields of between 7% and 10% on the back of free cash flow yields of between 12% and 22% between 2027 and 2028.

WPP Plc (NYSE:WPP) is a global creative transformation company. It acts as the parent organization for a vast network of advertising, media, public relations, and data-driven marketing agencies. The company helps massive global brands design advertising campaigns, buy ad space, and manage their public image across 110,000+ employees globally.
