What matters now

• The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (44/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
• The model range is unusually wide ($17.08 to $51.50). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

WPP PLC ADR (WPP) currently trades at $25.90, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $34.29, implying the stock looks roughly 24.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $26.85 per share, and 7 of the 16 models we run sit above the $25.90 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $7.89, and 9 of the 16 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, WPP PLC ADR generated revenue of $13.6B at a net margin of −1.6%. Revenue declined 8.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −5.3%. Net debt stands at $4.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $17.08 (bear case) to $51.50 (bull case); at $25.90, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 26% below its 52-week high and 80% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −13% fair-value upside, at 32%, WPP screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Widest divergence: DCF Models ($26.85) versus Earnings-Based ($2.74). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).
