Deutsche Bank lifts WPP valuation

According to Ad-hoc-news on September 8, 2026, Deutsche Bank reiterated its positive view on UK media stocks and raised its price target for WPP from 425 pence to 555 pence, implying an increase of about 30.6 percent in the target level.

The same report noted WPP shares around 381.70 pence on the London Stock Exchange on September 8, 2026, roughly 31.3 percent below Deutsche Bank’s new 555 pence target, underscoring the upside that the bank still sees in the stock.

Recent fundamentals frame the story

WPP has reported its most recent financial results for 2026 via its investor relations materials, including revenue and profit trends for the latest half-year period, as outlined on the company’s investor site at WPP; these results form the backdrop for Deutsche Bank’s decision to increase its target.

In its latest disclosed period within fiscal 2026, WPP highlighted year-on-year changes in revenue and margins, with the bank’s updated 555 pence target reflecting its view that the company’s earnings trajectory and cash generation can support a higher valuation than previously assumed.

Stock level and investor perspective

On the London Stock Exchange, WPP shares most recently traded around the 380 pence region in early September 2026, still significantly below the raised 555 pence Deutsche Bank target, which suggests that investors are pricing in sector risks even as the broker points to potential upside.
