Clear chart breakout and plenty of upside to come. Pent up demand from students should drive this a lot higher and they don't give a monkeys about covid.

another 25% increase in the next week or so

Don't understand how this share holds up.

Big volume gone through today..

It's a small cap but it's not a penny share.

The EV is around £88m once you account for the known cash outflows in 21H1. A year ago it had an EV of £116m. But since then it has gone from a cashflow positive business with a strong balance sheet to cash outflows and begging the bank for a loan at 15% interest to keep the lights on. Yet investors think the value of the business is largely unchanged in this time.

dangersimpson2: hence its a penny share.

Junk bond rates on debt, if they manage to get it away - not sure the equity has any value here.

bookbroker: indeed there is all sorts of equipment and gadgets and Apps that the young like to take on their gap year tours or use to plan their gap tour years - they certainly could be doing some adverts... Its not rocket science.

Ouch - cant win them all...

In talks to raise debt to strengthen balance sheet. Not surprising but confirmation of loan rather than talks more reassuring to markets I suspect. Would expect finance raise relatively straightforward and huge pent up demand when young travellers return.

looking at this now

Yes think your right , young people seeking adventure after a year of lock downs, not sure about the other package holiday companies though with the number of people on Furlough and possible lack of funds.

Gut feeling ultra cheap accommodation (mainly aimed at young) will recover first.
Spring is only a couple of months away..

Booooom!

Got to be in it to win it. (but might have to wait - you never know the day or hour)

Easyjet big FTSE riser today - backpack holidays around Europe are often linked to Easyjet flights....

[netcurtains] 16/12/2020 07:57

The brexit deal story has been reinforced by article in Daily Telegraph

[netcurtains] 15/12/2020 17:07

"if" this tweet is correct the brexit news should be good for backpack holidays around the EU - lots of stocks up on FTSE at close so probably some truth in the rumours:

PE now back under 10

[netcurtains] 11/12/2020 10:09

I am quite excited about this companies prospects now that we've had big USA buys and the float of airbnb for $100bn....
To my mind anything under £1 is around about the bottom!

If anyone wins big by covid vaccine it has to be gap year students who want to go on
world tours again and students generally just looking for cheap holidays abroad.

[netcurtains] 11/12/2020 09:58

This has been going up due to Airbnb valuation of $100bn.
When USA opens its possible HostelWorld will go up higher still.

Looking at RNS a guy in the USA has increased his holdings by
a huge amount!

[netcurtains] 10/12/2020 18:59

From BBC:
Investors mob Airbnb listing giving it $100bn value

[netcurtains] 10/12/2020 14:44

Airbnb getting a listing in the USA today.
We're in same ballpark field.

[netcurtains] 09/12/2020 10:25

Hostelworld - PE of 10... This has PE of 25 written all over it!
It should be trading at about 200......

[netcurtains] 08/12/2020 16:57

Nice finish

[netcurtains] 03/12/2020 10:26

BREXIT deal and VACCINE should be a double whammy win win for Hostelworld!
