- Class Action Notice: Rosen Law Firm reminds investors who purchased WPP ADSs between February 27 and July 8, 2025, that December 8 is the deadline to apply as lead plaintiff, potentially allowing for compensation without any out-of-pocket costs.
- Misleading Statements Allegation: The lawsuit claims that WPP provided overwhelmingly positive statements while concealing significant challenges in its media arm, leading to a loss of market share and subsequent damages to investors when the truth emerged.
- Law Firm Background: Rosen Law Firm specializes in securities class actions and has recovered over $438 million for investors in 2019 alone, demonstrating its strong track record and expertise in this field.
- Investor Selection Advice: The firm advises investors to choose qualified counsel with a proven success record to ensure effective representation in class actions, warning against selecting firms that merely act as intermediaries without litigation experience.
