WPP PLC shares surged 25% after the advertising group reported a smaller-than-expected revenue decline of 4.7% in the first half of 2026, improving from a forecasted mid to high single-digit drop. The revenue decline eased further to 2.8% in Q2, driven by better media performance and new client wins including Estée Lauder and Uber. Operating profit rose due to lower impairment charges, and adjusted net debt fell 10%. CEO Cindy Rose highlighted ongoing progress in client retention, cost savings, and business wins, with the company maintaining its full-year margin forecast and aiming for £100 million in savings this year as part of a £500 million target by 2028.
