WPP shares plunge as falls behind ad rivals in post-Sorrell era | Reuters 3 Min Read LONDON (Reuters) - WPP ( WPP.L ) lost a fifth of its market value on Thursday after a major downturn at its creative agencies in New York and London forced it to cut its sales and profit forecasts, ramping up the pressure on new boss Mark Read. The share fall wiped 2.8 billion pounds ($3.6 billion) off WPP’s market capitalization, taking the stock to a six-year low.

WPP shares were down 20 percent at 0715 G
