Expected to formally announce the cancellation of any further Ladbrokes payments around the 7th January, which might provide a boost to the SP, even though it's already known.

[bor491] 03/1/2019 16:19

17th Jan or 11th January?

[coxsmn] 03/1/2019 12:29

Agreed, nevertheless happy trading statement happy investors.

[mylands] 03/1/2019 08:30

Two weeks before we know how the year has ended. It would be nice to see a run-up to the announcement, but in these markets that’s a lot to hope for.

Q4 Trading update is on 17th Jan 2019

[t 34] 02/1/2019 15:26

Well , bizarre .

[hyperboreus] 02/1/2019 14:17

Just to clarify matters this would appear to contradict your post T 34 as it seems that it is not a renewal of a licence:

“We are delighted to get the year off to a positive start with the launch of bwin.se and partypoker.se. We are confident that Swedish customers will enjoy what we believe is the best and most comprehensive online gaming experience in the market. Launching two new labels in such a short space of time after receiving our licence, demonstrates the flexibility of our unique proprietary technology platform.”

It is a renewal of licence , so just the formality . Warrant a license in a new country would generate rns , I believe .

[mylands] 02/1/2019 12:07

Strange that the announcement today by the company of a licence for BWIN and Partypoker in Sweden doesn’t warrant an RNS

Maddog, despite all your worrying, it was never NOT going to get to 700p, and then much, much higher.

[rhuvaal2] 02/1/2019 09:40

we're all different: I hope this drops to 500's to buy some more...

[maddog68] 01/1/2019 17:20

I hope this gets back to 700's atleast.

[hubshank] 31/12/2018 17:20

Festario, well done for sharing. Interesting though, I often consider the stock market a bit of a gamble, particularly if looking to the short term rather than the long.

On the old Prty board we used to have all sorts of people opening up about all sorts, at least that was relevant!

On a seperate issue, what would constitute a large holding in a stock such as GVC.

[coxsmn] 29/12/2018 16:33

I expect stock market volatility is likely to continue in 2019, however i am here for at least the next 5yrs so will sit back and enjoy the dividends, adding at opportune moments. Gvc has a very robust business model, US offering huge growth so i am confident we will continue to do very nicely even if this isn't reflected in the share price for now.Happy New Year all.

Hargreaves Landsdown Opportunities in uncertain times - GVC – rolling the dice:


You might know GVC as an online gaming specialist. But it recently bought the Ladbrokes and Coral brands, so it’s now an unusual mix of established high street name and digital disruptor. Meanwhile, legislative change in the US offers an exciting growth opportunity.

It’s not all plain sailing though. UK in-shop trends haven’t been great, and tighter restrictions on gambling machines look set to make things worse. The move to cap staking on fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) will hopefully make society richer, but the lost profits will make GVC poorer, at least in the short term. Hence the shares trade for just10 times expected earnings.

However, the dividend remains well-underpinned by earnings and cash flow, and there are plenty of longer-term growth opportunities. The prospective yield is 4.8%.

Despite the increasing regulation, there are underlying tailwinds, especially online. GVC has impressively surfed the online wave. Gaming and sports betting revenues have risen strongly.

But what’s really exciting about GVC is on the other side of the pond. A US Supreme Court judgement has paved the way for legal sports betting nationwide.

The illegal sports betting market in the US sees an estimated $150bn change hands every year. The chance to snap up market share in such a populous, affluent and sports-mad country, is a once in a generation opportunity - although of course there are no guarantees.

European bookmakers are piling in left right and centre. But we think GVC has given itself a good chance of success. At least initially, casinos will be the go-to location for sports betting, and GVC has teamed with a US high roller, MGM Resorts. There's a lot to like about the prospect of combining GVC's experience with MGM's well-established brand.

The American dream could more than replace lost FOBT profits, although of course there’ll be fierce competition for a seat at the table. That makes the next 12 months crucial.

Excellent. Good luck - I'm sure 2019 will be profitable for you!

[realcooltrader] 28/12/2018 18:19

HL, GVC one of five shares to watch in 2019:



I bought a few yesterday, hopefully good timing for once!

[maddog68] 28/12/2018 16:55

Festario I'm glad that's all you got to worry about, #grammarpolice

[festario] 28/12/2018 13:23

Maddog, should HAVE been, not should OF been.So many people say that these days, and it drives me nuts!

[bor491] 28/12/2018 09:59

of course playtech were quick off the mark. Their big investment in Italy (which i'm not so sure about) means that now a big chunk of their revenue comes from Italy.

[maddog68] 28/12/2018 09:52

the 700 million should of been a massive boost to share price ?

[ecoover] 28/12/2018 09:48

according to estimates from marketscreener gvc will be able to pay off debt over years and at the same time to pay higher divi .

[nurdin] 28/12/2018 09:40

I am just surprised that GVC havent commented on Italys new tax regime for gambling stocks.PTEC were quick off the mark must say.
