Growth Slowdown: WPP reported resilient first-half like-for-like revenue growth of 2%, but growth slowed from 2.9% in Q1 to 1.3% in Q2, mainly due to weakness in US technology clients.
Regional Performance: Strong growth was seen outside the US, with the UK, Germany, and China all accelerating in Q2, while North America saw revenues decline by 4.1% in Q2.
Margin Discipline: Operating margin was 11.5%, flat year-on-year excluding FX, benefiting from disciplined cost control and reduced freelance costs, despite higher IT and severance expenses.
Guidance Revised: Full-year like-for-like revenue growth guidance was lowered to 1.5%–3% (from 3%–5%), but margin guidance was held at around 15%.
AI & Transformation: WPP is investing in AI, data, and technology platforms, highlighting progress with partnerships (like NVIDIA, Spotify) and ongoing cost transformation programs.
Technology Client Headwinds: The pullback in tech sector marketing spend in the US was sharper and more prolonged than expected, but management sees it as cyclical, not structural.
