<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/WPP.UK">WPP</a> Faces Investor Lawsuit Over Alleged Securities Fraud

A class action lawsuit has been filed against WPP plc, alleging that the company misled investors about the true state of its media division, GroupM. According to the complaint, WPP provided overly positive statements while concealing material adverse facts, including its inability to effectively handle ongoing macroeconomic challenges and loss of market share to competitors. On July 9, 2025, WPP issued a trading update acknowledging a deterioration in performance and weaker business than expected, partially due to restructuring within GroupM. Following this announcement, WPP's stock price dropped by approximately 18 percent in a single day. The legal action seeks to recover losses for investors who purchased WPP shares between February 27, 2025, and July 8, 2025.
