Citi Downgrades WPP PLC (WPPGY) to Hold

March 23, 2009 8:59 AM EDT

Citi downgrades WPP PLC (Nasdaq: WPPGY) from Buy to Hold.

Citi analyst says, "We like WPP as a business, and view consensus estimates as too conservative. We even think WPP has a shot of delivering its 09 EPS target of 60p (vs. CIRA 56p; cons. c.48p). At 7.1x
09E P/E, valuation is low vs. absolute troughs and attractive vs. peers (esp. PUB) but still off trough levels vs. the market. A tough 1H may provide a better entry point."

WPP PLC, formerly WPP Group plc, along with its subsidiaries, is a worldwide communications services organization offering national and multinational clients a range of communications services.
