24/7/2024 17:40 | MEGP don't have a monopoly on photo-booths in the UK. There are at least 3 competitors that I'm aware of but they all have a very small market share. Where Timpson is concerned they have 260 PB's instore and within some supermarkets compared to Photo-Me who have circa 3500 around the country. | masurenguy | |

19/7/2024 08:57 | Hi Melody, I’m not at all aware of a sale but it would certainly make some some sense in certain ways, particularly if Serge’s family are able to retain an interest and ensure an assured lengthy hangover, however, a take out price would certainly be at a very large premium when taking into consideration the progress this company has made over recent years & it’s currently sunny outlook. | shagsinatra | |
18/7/2024 12:15 | Listened to the presentation and a question on a site in Grenoble that ME are selling. As a quite new investor here, have I missed something? Is this significant? | melody9999 | |

16/7/2024 07:13 | ‘Buy’ ME Group, says Berenberg ME Group (MEGP) shares are cheap given the positive snapshot provided of the business in the first half, says Berenberg. Analyst Eleanor Spencer retained her ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 200p on the vending machine operator, which inched up 0.2% to 182.2p on Monday and is up 47% this year. The group delivered ‘attractive profitability’ in its first-half 2024 results, which were in line with trading updates from early June, with the top line growing 5% year-on-year. "The robust performance was delivered in spite of significant [foreign exchange] headwinds, with the value of the Japanese yen and the euro against the UK pound declining by 15% and 2% year-on-year, respectively. We think investors should look past any FX impacts and instead focus on ME Group’s increasing track record of underlying performance delivery. Trading on just 8.1 times full-year 2025 enterprise value to [pre-tax earnings], we think its shares look cheap." said Spencer | masurenguy | |

15/7/2024 14:11 | Agree, but as 2m points out they are starting to hedge fx to minimise the currency hit. | disc0dave46 | |
15/7/2024 10:07 | But a very solid and dependable company | solarno lopez | |
15/7/2024 10:06 | Yep, the workhorse is still working away. Good results, but now we have just a little bit of caution: "However, as the Group earns a large share of its revenue in foreign currencies, its consolidated results will be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations to some extent." | 2magpies | |
15/7/2024 09:36 | Cheers shagsinatra - if the eps in the 2nd half increases by circa 11.5% then we would see eps for the year at circa 15p, which would give a current year PER of just circa 12 @182p. With the added benefit of the 28% photbooth cost saving, the eps could be even be higher. I think that we could anticipte the shares breaching 200p in H2, sans any broad market downturn, with a yield approaching 5% - plus any potential special dividend that might also be added at the year end. | masurenguy | |
15/7/2024 09:25 | Many thanks for your update Masurenguy, much appreciated. I particularly like the R&D developments yielding significant cost reductions & potential new products. For me, this is a relatively underrated stock as the market can surely see the progress made over the medium term. A fair price ? £2.30 all day long 👌 & that’s conservative! | shagsinatra | |
