New stamps and a stake in Market Engine - the old and the new in two days. Not bad - about time for a lift in the share price

[tonio] 09/9/2015 08:20

Well not now when most people wake up. They are celebrating the longest reigning monarch - a butterfly I expect!

Royal Mail Buys Stake In Australian E-Commerce Start-Up Market Engine
Mon, 7th Sep 2015 11:20

LONDON (Alliance News) - Royal Mail PLC on Monday said it has acquired a stake in Australian e-commerce technology start-up Market Engine Global Pty Ltd for an undisclosed amount.


The FTSE 100-listed postal service operator said its investment in the company is part of its focus on building out its e-commerce operations and follows from its recent investment in personal shoppping app Mallzee and the acquisition of e-commerce technology company Storefeeder in February 2015.

Market Engine provides a market management system which allows businesses to manage their online retail presence across different regional markets.

"We think we can leverage our scale and expertise to help Market Engine expand and accelerate its entrance into new markets, while identifying opportunities to incorporate its technology solutions within Royal Mail?s existing operations," said Nick Landon, Royal Mail Parcels' managing director.

Shares in Royal Mail were down 0.2% to 462.2 pence on Monday.

As long as they keep paying that dividend, I'm happy.

bargain of the day? seems to be safe area to be in
bouncing off 450 level, ( look at the spread on UKM a waste of time)

around 150,000 move home a year, purchases and lettings
most of which now use re-direction service jacked right up to around 79quid
for just two household members
RMG seem to be getting their act together re-profits
looking for poss 50p share increase over coming 20wks

just a couple of percentage points a month recovery
short term a manipulated drop to fill orders and shake out sellers?

low volume today

[muffinhead] 29/8/2015 21:30

Not sure why it's at this level as running into a lot of prior support below 450p

Real sellers are to be found around the 550p level and above

this is a utility - has nice "risk off" characteristics.

[muffinhead] 25/8/2015 16:31

In the naughty corner today

[oiht] 21/8/2015 22:33

Only one FTSE100 riser today - RMG

[wipo1] 19/8/2015 18:41

Yes excellent value when you consider Royal mail pushed through price increases and diesel heading for a £1 a litre double bonus

[oiht] 19/8/2015 08:33

Yeah, why not, becoming good value again.

[wipo1] 19/8/2015 08:23

I am looking to get back in 450p

Hi AffeMoose,

I am not Goldpig on LSE. I think I tried to register but the name was taken. I only post on Motley Fool as Goldpig and here as GoldpigUK. (Originally I was Goldpig on ADVFN but I had to reregister as my password details got lost in cyberspace.)

I bought 5000 RMG in my ISA back in April and am building my position for the long term, so I will be looking to add on price weakness.

[affemoose] 18/8/2015 09:44

Hello Goldpig - are you the same GoldPig that was in Bells failed ventures on LSE?

I am also in RMG and wondering why the drift down at the moment, aside from regulatory pressures, and possible sales from Posties free shares I cannot see any real solid reason

[goldpiguk] 14/8/2015 23:04

Hi exotic,

Although Royal Mail did not produce revenue forecasts for the Alibaba Tmall deal it described the move as "significant". I attach two links.


The first link gives more in depth detail on the Royal Mail Alibaba Tmall deal and RMG's Chinese operations.

The second link is to a KPMG report on the importance of E-commerce in China. Link enables you to download the report.

Why the share price drop? Markets generally?

[exotic] 14/8/2015 00:03

Interesting regarding the online store, established in April, but I really can't see it being a significant contributor to revenue any time soon. Are you able to expand a bit more regarding "Royal Mail delivers the goods"? It's good to see them exploring new opportunities however.

As to the core business - the oil price continues to fall through the floor and this will present significant cost savings.

[mbmiah] 13/8/2015 20:33

Some of us here invested way before this development - just on pure fundamentals really.

[mbmiah] 13/8/2015 20:01

Completely missed that one AuPigCheers

[bartram] 13/8/2015 18:54

Blackrock raising stake above 5% has to be a positive signal for RMG shares.

[goldpiguk] 13/8/2015 18:19

mbmiah,

Clearly you have no idea what I am talking about. It is becoming a total waste of time posting on boards where people have not done their research properly!!!

The growth area identified by Royal Mail is exporting into China. The margins on this business (Tmall) include a share of the cost price of the product. To give just one example on a product costing about £700 Royal Mail would get up to £140 in addition to normal profit on delivery.

Any contraction in this business far outweighs any possible benefit on parcels from China where RMG does not get a proportion of the cost of the product.
The TMall deal gives much much higher margins to RMG.

For some further information and the potential size of this market I suggest you read the Royal Mail press release of 7th July.

Blackrock added - 5% nowChina devaluation is good for RMG - more parcels coming in, cheaper goods etc
