[undervaluedassets] 15/11/2016 08:38

Yesterday day traders got in and out for a quick 'turn' on acquisition news.

In the months/years to come I expect steady appreciation from here.

This company is broadening it's reach with compelling acquisitions .

BOOM

Institutions piling in.

Looks like Playtech jyst underpined growth and profits for the next decade.

Glad I typed up and am overweight.

Great conference call. If you have not listened already - do.

[slipperysidewinder] 14/11/2016 10:11

The conference call had quite a few analysts on board and i think they were impressed.

Stand by for analyst upgrades across the board.

[slipperysidewinder] 14/11/2016 10:05

Just listening to the conference call.

This is a real game chsnger.

Playtech seem to have pulled off a real coup. They are basically going to alter a competitive trading platform for over 400 snd growing retail brokers as a alternative to MT4.

This deal is superb. Playtechvwish to do the same in financials as what they have managed in gaming.

The share price here will go like Betfsir imho. Fasten your seatbelts.

Interesting to hear the amount of snalysts on the call. Plenty of interest.

Like Betfair ( changing the traditional gambling model ) this will fly. £20 three year target for me.

Excellent purchase and the market has picked this up.The synergies make a lot of sense.PTEC really nailing this role in the middle.SCH as a payment provider to PTEC could see benefits

Looking for strong revenue growth? Check out these two high flyersBy The Motley Fool Nov 4, 2016Strong revenue growth is proving to be elusive among the largest companies in the FTSE 100 index, however if you're willing to look outside the most popular, mainstream stocks it's still possible to find. These two UK stocks have seen stunning revenue growth over the last five years.First Derivatives'Big data' specialist, First Derivatives (LSE: FDP) is a leading provider of software and consulting services to the financial sector. The company's key product, Kx, is a market leading product in the big data space and assists financial institutions such as HSBC,Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan with the high speed processing of real-time, streaming and historical data. .....morePlaytechOne company growing at an impressive rate yet trading at a reasonable valuation is the world's largest online gaming and sports betting software supplier, Playtech (LSE: PTEC).Playtech designs software platforms for the online, mobile and land-based gaming industry and has seen its revenues grow exponentially over the last five years at a CAGR of an amazing 35%.Shareholders have been well rewarded, with the stock rising 240% in the last five years and the company paying out a dividend that has increased from EUR19c in FY2010 to EUR28c for FY2015. Furthermore, the company announced in August that it would be paying out a special dividend of EUR47c to shareholders in December.Companies growing as fast as Playtech normally trade at high multiples, however the company trades on an undemanding P/E ratio of 14.6 times forecast earnings, which seems low given the historic growth of the firm.With earnings per share forecast to rise 39% this year and the company aiming to grab a larger market share of the lucrative sports-betting market through its recent acquisition of Best Gaming Technology, Playtech is definitely one to watch.http://money.aol.co.uk/2016/11/04/looking-for-strong-revenue-growth-check-out-these-two-high-flye/

I bought 500 pre-ex divi on the basis that the payment will not be made until December meaning that unless the share price is 40p less than the price when I bought (EOD yesterday), then it's a gain. Very hard one to ever get right as using ddubzy's tactics might also work - all depends on news between now and anytime up to divi payment date. ;-)

[festario] 03/11/2016 13:27

Mmmm, this is cheap now!

[ddubzy] 03/11/2016 12:52

Yes 40p....Dipped lower than the divi so couldn't resist buying more.....GLA

[nurdin] 03/11/2016 12:34

The special divi is worth 40p?

[trentendboy] 03/11/2016 08:26

Yep, Just the special dividend.

Good statement from GVC this morning - the sector still going well

[weemonkey] 03/11/2016 08:17

special div goes XD today.

no need for surprise.

Looking forward to the future with confidence.

[dr knowledge] 01/11/2016 17:39

Anyone tempted to top up tomorrow (or already has) to get the special divi. Last chance I believe. ;-)

[trentendboy] 26/10/2016 13:45

A shocking day for the sector but rebounding nicely now across the board

Bingo is quite important for PTEC and it may look for growth here. Bingo is nearly twice PTEC's revenue from poker and is two-thirds its revenue from land-based gambling.
