William Hill Share Discussion Threads

Whatever the outcome and whoever offers it's clear that the industry is readying for consolidation.

888, Rank merger not a good deal for Wmh. Wmh should be an acquirer not the other way around!888 has got a nerve, less than a year ago they snubbed a bid from wmh.

Agreed. I am a big buyer of ptec for exactly those reasons

This part of the RNS says it all: "Philip has a clear set of priorities as Interim CEO, principally the continued turnaround of the Online business."In the space of a few years since divorcing from Playtech, WH goes from being a leader in online to a turnaround situation. WH not only had the benefit of their previous failure to do it themselves but also the lesson from working alongside the best in the world in PTEC. Yet, WH still fails a second time. It demonstrates how difficult it is to better Playtech by developing online gaming in-house. Like all big software suppliers, PTEC has economies of scale and expertise that are difficult to replicate in-house.

Good for share price but they never had got themselves into this mess.Pathetic 2015/2016PTEC must be laughing now. Losers.On the upside, share price should rise but I am currently underwater so will make a loss on an all cash offer.

BY JACK HAYNES 1:22PM 24 JUL 2016

UNDERPERFORMING bookmaker William Hill are the subject of a potential transaction with 888 Holdings and Rank Group considering a £3 billion joint bid.

Good news or bad ??

Mmmm, a nice trend reversal, and a further rise on the day.Back to 350p in no time I reckon.Then, let's see what the new CEO has planned for the company.

[frankiethecabbie] 21/7/2016 12:33

Not sure who you are Chester , but have an idea and can assure you I know when to push buttons these days !

[chester3] 21/7/2016 12:14

Frankiethecabbie mind you don't burn you're fingers again!!!!

[festario] 21/7/2016 11:58

Seems like I piled in at the right time!No active discussion board on a company this size? with news like today's?

[festario] 13/7/2016 11:55

Looks like a confirmed trend reversal developing here.

[festario] 12/7/2016 09:58

Seems like I called the bottom quite nicely for a change.

[festario] 11/7/2016 10:27

Piled in here with some GVC profits last week at 255p, looks very oversold this.

[frankiethecabbie] 16/6/2016 12:36

With this big drop Hills must be having to revise their position or stance regarding advancing in the online market and their best option is 888.

[trentendboy] 23/5/2016 08:56

Hills would do well to check out the latest GVC deal with Betfred.

I suspect that Hills have called this wrong kicking PTEC out of bed.

This is not the way to go imo and they need a partner focused on the online tech.

Day after Day take the share price down, hoover up shares.
Declare large Buy trades after hours.

Update - Well I got that wrong
A few Institutional Holders have reduced their holdings significantly
or sold out completely.
Despite William Hill continually buying their own shares the share price continues
to slide.
Under £3 is now looking entirely achievable.

[tsmith2] 30/3/2016 09:18

To test £3.2?

[mercer95] 29/3/2016 16:22

Next month

[mercer95] 29/3/2016 16:10

Good recovery after last weeks drop, well over done, like my ex's cooking, should kick on more, dividend end of this month

[peterbill] 23/3/2016 09:01

Trading update ...

First, from a regulatory perspective, we have seen an acceleration in the number of time-outs and automatic self-exclusions over recent weeks and this is impacting the level of actives across the Online business, particularly in gaming. Whilst the trend is still evolving, we estimate that, should these trends persist around current levels, the consequent lower revenues will reduce Online's profits by GBP20-25m in 2016.

Second, gross win margins for Online are 1.9 percentage points below expectations in the period at 6.2%, affected as previously highlighted by European football results and also by the worst Cheltenham results in recent history!

Shares in British gambling companies such as Ladbrokes and William Hill rose on Wednesday, with traders citing relief that the British budget did not unveil any strict, new taxes on the sector.

"No tax hikes, so positive for the sector," said Securequity sales trader Jawaid Afsar.

Ladbrokes' shares rose as much as 8.8 percent before settling back to stand 4.9 percent higher by 1400 GMT.

William Hill's shares rose 3.3 percent while shares in Paddy Power Betfair also advanced 1.7 percent.

Something to do with gaming duty I suspect but not yet dug it out
