Looks strong today and judging by the number of posts here it is smart money buying in

Thanks AISHAH, Liberum:"We do not think GoCompare would be bought by another PCW website such as Moneysupermarket.com or CompareTheMarket, although there may be an opportunity to be merged with a smaller player such as confused.com, due to likely regulatory concerns on competition grounds. However, we do see two potential groups of buyers. The first would be private equity groups who may be interested in the information that GoCompare holds and its WeFlip technology and, secondly, classified portal groups in the automotive and / or property space who may see a PCW service as a useful adjunct to their main offering. This is the strategy that ZPG pursued when it bought uSwitch, as did Scout24 (in a slightly different guise, focusing on consumer loans) in Germany when they bought Finanzcheck.de. Possible candidates who could be interested are AutoTrader but also the likes of eBay and CarGurus, who have been buying up UK classified automotive sites."

FT Alphaville:

The rumour is PE interest, potentially with management in the canoe.

Can't find anything, some odd trades this past week or so.

Large trades just gone thru?

[jimmywilson612] 12/4/2019 11:33

Any news on why this is shooting up, or do we think it's as a result from the Buy report from Liberum yesterday?

[mad foetus] 12/4/2019 11:15

Looking good, I got in earlier, gla

Capital markets day seems to have generated some positive interest......at last!.

[cwa1] 27/3/2019 08:53

Yes, I sold mine a bit too early with hindsight-but made a very nice turn on them-so no real regrets. Eyes are peeled for a re-entry position but nothing doing so far. Will be patient for a suitable level and if it doesn't appear-too bad.
