There should be a pre-closing update later this month. Last year it was 26/06/20. Interims in August.

Patience Ox. This is a buy/hold/forget stock, if you want upwards volatility, FLTR, Gan and Ent are better. We may get some newsflow regarding 888 bidding for the WMH ex US assets or contract wins but this is likely to trade sideways for a while.

This seems to drift lower while Ent plods higher. Got to snap back soon does it not.

[its the oxman] 02/6/2021 08:39

Surely this is going to hold above 400p.

Wynn going public with a $3.2bn valuation, annual revenues of $100m growing to $700m in 2023. Safe to say we are quite undervalued :)

New York Times: “The company projected online revenue of $708 million in 2023, based on a 5% to 7% share of the U.S. market. Its current annual run rate is about $100 million, executives said on a conference call for investors. The new entity will also take over the sports books at the Wynn properties in Las Vegas.

Foley, the chairman of Fidelity National Financial Inc., is also an owner of the Golden Knights pro hockey team in Las Vegas.

The Wynn deal follows other gaming companies that have gone public through a SPAC, including DraftKings Inc., Golden Nugget Online Gaming Inc. and Rush Street Interactive Inc.

Separately, the company reported first-quarter revenue that was less than analysts expected and a loss its core casino business that exceeded Wall Street expectations.”

A few hoping for a similar outcome it seems. Appetite is there but right deal is required but still confidence behind the scenes in what the company can achieve.

[saltaire111] 06/5/2021 21:22

Apollo have entered a bidding war with Entain for Tabcorp. If Apollo win i wonder if they will still be as interested in WMH ex US which 888 would like to buy.

[winston81] 30/4/2021 10:12

Hopefully just a short term adjustment before pushing on. 3 broker rating this week all with 'Buy' ratings including JP Morgan ranging from 460 to 490. They looks like a good time to top up at these levels. As always DYOR

To me, the company isnt excessively valued at all at around 21x PE and they generally guide conservatively. 888 has a lot more growth potential in the US, they generate very strong ROCE, cash on balance sheet, pays a dividend. really, whats not to like?

Granted its easy to sell something that has gone up and bank profits, and I agree with the adage that 'no one went broke banking a profit' but equally no-one got rich selling well-performing companies early.

I bought in at just over £1m around a year ago and don't really see any point selling til the story changes. Management has delivered - happy to watch them carry on delivering

[makinbuks] 30/4/2021 08:03

Thats true but we kind of raced through £4 to £4.50 before this pull back. Got to peak sometime

[saltaire111] 29/4/2021 18:15

Interesting to see the same pattern emerge in the chart as the share price passes through £1, then £2, then same again at £3 and again at £4. The price pulls back a bit and the. Pushes through. Let’s hope history repeats!

[makinbuks] 29/4/2021 15:59

Inevitable

[peaeff] 29/4/2021 15:59

Expected a retraction today but I wouldn't have guessed 5%. So I've just bought back some of what I sold yesterday hoping for a late rally and steady rise thereafter.

[investing2retire] 29/4/2021 15:48

5% drop today looks like profit taking.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see another few days of rises , in another rerating rise in the share price.

[winston81] 28/4/2021 16:37

Fantastic results today and in all honesty what we expeceted it's just that it has taken a while for some to jump on board. Think the trading update represents a conservative outlook and may again exceed expectations come the end of the year. Sportsbook growth an opprtunity to develop. Excellent momentum and US openings. Yes casinos opening will impact somewhat but also people do get lazy, checkout Amazon buyers. GLA DYOR

I have also realised my original outlay and am left with 1000 free shares. Will add on any moderate dips.

GLA & regards

Noting Peaeff's comment yesterday "I just hope that the management don't fill it with a load of negative forward thinking." I would tend to agree WH. Under promise and over achieve is a strategy I like and builds confidence. The fact is that no one know how people will behave post lockdown. Have habits changed for ever or will they revert to 2019 patterns?

Amazing quarter, while America and possible take over continue to provide excitement

Having realised my profits at £4 I will hold on now with my reduced holding for the long term

[the white house] 28/4/2021 08:26

Marvellous update, 100m up on same Q is remarkableI think they are overly downplaying the tougher comparatives coming up. New customer numbers have increased all last year and continue to do so and we can see from BetMGM going from zero at Xmas in Michigan to 30m bucks revenue in March that the US is only going one way and fast

[finkie] 28/4/2021 08:25

56% revenue growth is amazing.....not long now before America swoops

[adamb1978] 28/4/2021 08:01

Agree rimau - very decent update. The market forecasts for 2021 always looked skinny so I was expecting upgrading of them to become a driver or at least support for the share price this year. Looks like that should happen. Outlook comments beyond this year also look positive too

[rimau1] 28/4/2021 07:37

Wow, excellent update. Earnings beat for Q1 and although growth in Q2-Q4 is prudently expected to slow as previously flagged overall FY21 now expected to be flat y-o-y. At the time of the 2020 results analysts pencilled in a drop due to the regulatory headwinds in Germany and investments in the platform. I particularly like this in the outlook statement today “ We are excited about the US, where we plan to roll out sports into further states in the next few months, and launch our upgraded poker platform into further states in partnership with Caesars and their leading and hugely popular WSOP brand” This together with the progress in the 888sport platform is why i remain a very happy LTH
