In terms of performance metrics, WPP's one-day gain stands in stark contrast to the FTSE 100, which only saw a modest increase of 0.25%. Over the past week, WPP has shown a robust performance with a 7.91% rise, while the FTSE 100 declined by 0.27%.

WPP's financial health is characterized by a P/E ratio of 4.00 and a high dividend yield of 1,102.98%. Despite these figures, the company has faced difficulties in servicing its debt, as indicated by a low EBIT to Interest ratio of 4.22. The stock's performance over the last three years has consistently lagged behind the FTSE 100, highlighting ongoing challenges in its market position.
