S4 Capital Shares Plummet Following Revenue Warning

The advertising firm led by Sir Martin Sorrell faces significant financial challenges as major tech clients cut marketing budgets.

  • S4 Capital's shares dropped by up to 16% after the company warned of a larger-than-expected decline in full-year sales.
  • First-half revenues fell by 18.3% to £423 million, significantly impacting the firm's market value.
  • The company has implemented cost-cutting measures, including laying off nearly 1,000 employees and reducing discretionary spending.
  • High interest rates and challenging global macroeconomic conditions have been cited as key factors affecting the firm's performance.
  • Despite the downturn, S4 Capital continues to secure new business, including a significant deal with General Motors valued at over $20 million annually.
