With this current share price I would have thought Wm Hill would be looking again especially as they are in need of something inspiring to happen as well !!!

This is ridiculous.

No shops, no FOBTs ...... what's the problem ???

Answers on a postcard to .....

Been waiting for this to stop falling for seemingly eons now.

They are really out for this stock.

On the sidelines.

No debt, people always gamble and a strong brand.

Some fall from 3.30 less than a year ago to 1.35 today. and still paying a massive divivend .

Somethings afoot.

EPS are around 2013/14 levels,if you take off the 2c one off dividend,you have a 50% dividend cut in 2018,yet they consider themselves worthy of a 200% remuneration bonus of their salary depending on certain targets being met,oh & while we're there 15% of salary will be put into pension contribution's each year to all of us who work for this wonderful business.

Eg just a silly example but if the two companies make £50m profit, the FOBT company profits will now £25m(50% loss) less say 4% = £24m profit.

888’s profit would be £50m less 7% = £46.5m

Hence my point that although all gambling co’s are down some are being over done which I believe is occurring with 888.

High street bookies got 50/60% of profits from Fobts. Therefore only 4% extra reduction from online seems not a great reason for rhecsmw price reduction in share price .

I am so surprised that 888 have not made a move on one of the scandi gaming companies, 88 have to do something very soon as the share price shows no sign of being stable.

[coxsmn] 03/5/2019 23:04

No but the increase in remote gaming duty will hit 888 the hardest. Goodbody estimate cash profits will fall by 7 percent at 888 compared to 2 percent at GVC and PPB, 3 percent at WMH.

fobts dont effect 888

when is the next trading update day

[5oletrader] 02/5/2019 08:39

One of those 'voodoo' descending wedge pattern 'things' forming here - a close through 150p bullish?!

Mr Robbie B - You know what this needs..... a bid! ;-)

[finkie] 30/4/2019 14:17

Wow just bought more at 145p after thinking at 320p this is about to be bid for, still like the company and the net cash and share buybacks are attractive but what a year.....

[trentendboy] 26/4/2019 19:59

Hills were laughed out of town for their 2 quid offerThey should revisit that offer imo

[oneillshaun] 26/4/2019 16:43

TrentEndBoy if somebody wants to buy them it will not be an issue this price range is just crazy.

[trentendboy] 26/4/2019 13:54

888 need to put themselves up for sale quickSuch bad management in last year - since the BWIN loss to GVC they have looked hapless

[trentendboy] 24/4/2019 09:09

yep - more consolidation has to happen soon and yes, these lows are a real pain :(

[rbonnier] 23/4/2019 22:24

All Gambling stocks are currently trading around 3 - 5 year lows .Something has to give at some point these companies still make big profits ok FOBT is finished but the numbers on the roulette wheels arnt all of a sudden all red and slots are more loose than a prostitutes Knickers.
Consolidation will happen in the sector this year as valuations are so low and they are all sitting ducks .

[coxsmn] 23/4/2019 22:10

What's the dividend cover here, or are they using cash to fund it?

[trentendboy] 11/4/2019 09:28

Yes, disappointing

[essential] 11/4/2019 08:11

Broke below 3 year low. Decided to cut losses and run. We'll see how it pans out. Happy to cut and move on

New article on Cube: 888 teases shareholders with the prospect of big buybacks

[trentendboy] 03/4/2019 11:16

I smell a TO soon - feels like a new round will kick off soon given the speed of the US opening

[bulltradept] 28/3/2019 10:51

The IC has this as a hold. Surely not it should be a buy surely?
