Ei Share Discussion Threads

Looking unusually lively at the moment. First time we've been decisively through 140 since 2013/14. Could be in anticipation of interim results on 16/5 but I'm not expecting any surprises on the upside as the business plan through to 2020 envisages flat earnings as improved 'quality of earnings' from conversions to Managed Houses or transfer to commercial tenancies is offset by the reduction in the number of pubs as a result of sales (the proceeds of which are 'reinvested' in the estate rather than used to reduce debt or returned to shareholders). Even at this level, the share price is still only around 50% of stated NAV and I don't understand how they intend to realise that value for shareholders unless someone comes and has a pop at them a la Punch. The sooner the better, I say.

First! So, Punch Taverns-style takeover rumours, reasons for this afternoon's drop, hit us with your chat!

"The Company is changing its name from Enterprise Inns plc to Ei Group plc. This reflects the transformation of the Company's business from a single, predominantly leased and tenanted operation, to a portfolio of businesses comprising a variety of operating models and trading styles designed to optimise the value derived from the asset base.

It is expected that with effect from 8.00 am on 10 February 2017 the Company's shares will trade under its new name of Ei Group plc and the Company's London Stock Exchange Tradable Instrument Display Mnemonic will change to "EIG". The ISIN and SEDOL numbers for the Company's shares will remain unchanged.

The Company's website address will be www.eigroupplc.com. "



Anyone interested in the history will find the former thread here -

a bit like the UPS thread, people could bring shares to other people's attention on this thread.

Like the 'north face of the Eiger' the prerequisite would be an inexorable rise, eg an upward (largely unbroken) gradient of greater than 70 to 80% angle over the last 1 week to 4 weeks

think, in the past, of wnl or min.

to get the ball rolling, consider grp

I understand there was a report in yesterday's Mail that the FSA are going to abandon their enquiry into the "Splits" saga. If this is true, EIG is a good bet, because it implies that they could pay their withheld dividend, and thus the share price would surely rise. However - the Telegraph this morning says just that the enquiry is to be postponed, in which case the jam continues to be tomorrow rather than next week, as it were.(In My Opinion etc)

OK - we all know about the "splits" debacle but, are these seriously undervalued or what?

Having sold their (loss-making) UT business earlier this year, they are now back making good profits and have about £11 million in cash. Price rose dramatically over the last two days to about 102p. Although no divs for the time being pending outcome of splits enquiry, my guess is that they will be paid within a year or so, so I reckon the shares are a buy.

Spread is 50-70p. No wonder there are no trades!!

[andrewd] 01/7/2002 19:54

Just found it

[andrewd] 01/7/2002 19:50

Up 23% today, anyone know why ?

[stewjames] 30/1/2001 22:49

Yes, agree with M.T. here. Good, solid company that if you look back in a year will almost certainly be higher than it is now. Don't hold since they're not speculative enough for me, but certainly would if I had enough cash to make having a 'safe' portfolio worthwhile.

Thanks for the reply, they recently seem to shoot up on very little buying and drop on very little selling, just wondered why.Wondered if Ian Henderson had agreed to be taken over as they are one of only a few independent fund managers left.
Cheers

If you bought them that recently (and presumably researched them beforehand) why ask? Just look away for a year or two. No need to watch daily/weekly movements on this one. Profittakers who saw them hit 1000p knocked them briefly back a bit as expected. Rose 59% in 2000 and ninefold over 3 yrs. A decent core holding. Got some within my PEP and quite happy to leave them there while I get on with other stuff.

[malcolmmm] 30/1/2001 21:41

Bought 500 of these about three weeks ago, off late they seem to be yo-yo-ing about could anyone throw a little light.
They are growing at around 40% pa.
