To Short BCA the sheriff of AIM must be demented. He's shooting in the wrong town.
1. 95.73% institutional ownership
2. Premium listing on 16th Oct ->
3. increased trading liquidity
4. potential FTSE inclusion
5. Webuyanycar clear market leader
6. increasing profits
etc

Well I used the tip as the catalyst to sell out of MVI.

507 whatever; share price admitted error on BOO and calle4d it well as a long. It also got right: Quindell, GKP, XEL, Cupid, Sefton, all the china frauds, DAN, AERO, MYSQ and a long list of others. No wonder you subscribe even if your memory is selective/defective

5070481,

Why do you subscribe to Shareprophets if you've never been a huge fan?

[5070481] 12/10/2017 10:49

Shareprophets have come out with BCA as their short for the Autumn. INteresting read. Never been a huge fan of them though. GBO was their one success iremember but then they also slammed BOO at 30p which was clearly ridiculous

whistleblower31 - "PCP financing for the purchase of vehicles is running into headwinds, possibly the next PPI."

I don't know much about PCP financing, but what I do know is that you never own the vehicle, if you don't own it that means somebody else does and that person (or company) can change the terms at almost any time.

I have never, and will never, buy a vehicle on PCP terms.

Like yourself I also have been reading about the dangers of PCP, seems to me everything is fine while rates are at 0.25% but we both know that ain't gonna last forever,

Have dipped my toe in on BCA, they go ex div next week, I'm always looking for good dividend paying companies.

There has been a cluster of director dealing on this one. It's definitely a buy, rising turnover, good cashflow generation and high ROCE.

PCP financing for the purchase of vehicles is running into headwinds, possibly the next PPI. This would play into the hands of BCA.

If diesel cars are phased out then the second hand marketplace for petrol cars could become incredibly vibrant.

"The Board is also pleased to announce that it has engaged advisors on the work-streams to be completed for its stated intention to move to the Premium segment of the Official List. This work is expected to be completed over the summer months with the move taking place before the end of the year."

Thoughts on the refinancing?

[from8to800] 31/1/2017 07:12

When will three be an update/results?

Bid speculation hovering over Northgate with Redde and BCA potential suitors -

[from8to800] 06/1/2017 16:36

Big 3 million order today. Would be surprised if it was a sell considering the day closed up.

[from8to800] 15/12/2016 13:04

It's funny how advfn attributes buy or sell labels to orders. The 100k order this morning looks like a buy (price is actually higher than its preceding order) and yet it's marked as a sell... Weird.In any case, from the weekly chart the stock still seems to be under accumulation.

JP Morgan Cazenove today reaffirms its overweight investment rating on BCA Marketplace Plc (LON:BCA) and raised its price target to 220p (from 200p).

Strange that Mascronicguy doesn't put the Market Capitalisation into the headers. This value that the market prescribes is the single most important reference point to derive any comparable metric from. The number of shares alone are meaningless without price. You can have a million shares in a company but it does not mean you are a millionare. They are most probably worthless. Its kind of like having a little sack of coins but not knowing what coins they are.
If one has a 14.61% holding in this company, how much is that worth?
If the net debt is £255mn what is the EV?
how much of the MktCap relates to WBAC
etc.
Another insight is this Mascronicguy bans posters who differ in opinions to his own. He does this by creating many of the threads for the companies so that he has ownership of the thread. Traits of a bigoted uninformed investor.

‘Amazon of cars’ sees profits motor

British Car Auctions sells a used car every 60 seconds
Share

BCA Marketplace, the company better known by its trading names British Car Auctions and webuyanycar.com, has the industry all sewn up.

From the moment a car lands at Ellesmere Port or Grimsby, to when it arrives at the forecourt ready for sale, and is then resold years later, it’s likely BCA will be taking a cut.

The company sells a used car every 60 seconds in Britain through its 23 auction sites and online. It is also the biggest buyer via Webuyanycar. Hard-charging boss Avril Palmer-Baunack likes to refer to the company as the “Amazon of cars”.

So how has the mega-retailer done in the stormy months since June’s EU referendum?

If City scribblers are to be believed, rather well. The company will reveal on Wednesday that profits for the six months through September have jumped by a fifth to £46m, according to broker N+1 Singer. It reckons better things are to come, having slapped a 220p price target on the stock. BCA’s shares closed at 175p, good for a 4% dividend yield.

BCA is unlikely to hit that lofty goal via acquisitions. It has snapped up several rivals since Palmer-Baunack took over via the cash shell Haversham Holdings in March last year.

She has bought SMA Vehicle Remarketing, car refurbisher Ambrosetti and, in July, Paragon Automotive, which processes and stores cars throughout Britain.

That blitz of deals has inserted the company up and down the car ownership chain.

Now it is up to Palmer-Baunack to squeeze more profit from the empire, which, including BCA’s European operations, sells 1.5m cars a year.

At the heart of her efforts will be growing the finance operation. Four out of every five cars in Britain are bought on finance.

That surge has two effects. It increases the turnover of cars because people swap them every few years when finance deals expire. And the interest payments open up a juicy new profit stream beyond sales fees.

It’s all to play for at BCA. Buy.
