Martin Sorrell forecast another tough year for S4 Capital after the ad group's core earnings fell 25% in 2023, reflecting a reluctance from its tech-heavy clients to spend and few new business wins. Shares in S4 Capital, which hit 878 pence in September 2021, fell 11% to 40 pence in early deals on Wednesday, valuing the company at 230 million pounds ($290 million).

The group said it expected its clients to remain cautious in the short term as it forecast another fall in like-for-like net revenue in 2024 and earnings broadly around the same level as 2023's 93.7 million pounds ($118.2 million).
