Moonpig Share Discussion Threads

I appreciate your viewpoint but love the irony here. You have typed your views onto social media and been heard across the world instantly instead of waiting for the AGM, getting on a train and turning up with the other shareholders and then standing up and speaking in the room on the subject. Or writing a letter to the Times on the subject. I don't think it is laziness. I see it as a natural evolution of the whole sharing/connectedness/ empathy of recognising birthdays, anniversaries etc and reckon we'll soon all also be using Alexa/Siri/Cortana to recommend a suitable gift to go with the card based on what we sent them last year and what everyone else's Alexa/Siri/Cortana has recommended this year!

I don't normally short but I'd love to with this pig. Its a howling sell at current level. Market too seems underwhelmed by the IPO given current share price But I think I'll let it settle for a while longer until the broader market comes to realise profits will tank next year as the high st opens up again and takes back most of their market share. I must admit I'm bias because I personally dislike this company. Anyone else get offended when they receive a lazy Moonpig card instead of a hand written one?

Mallorca - They wouldn't allow shorts over the site initially, only phone orders. You can place them on IG platform now, im sure you already have just letting you know.

Moonpig is a household name in a single country

Swann has experience of running brands in 50

That is why this could rocket to £10

[dealy] 06/2/2021 10:01

BT is only 6 times higher.

[devilsprofessor] 05/2/2021 12:18

Agreed. I expect once this has settled it will steady out higher than it currently it. It's just finding it's....trotters currently

Can see these up 50pc in a year

[mallorca 9] 05/2/2021 08:31

Just tried to open a short spread bet via IG.
They are not allowing it.

Does anyone know the situation re short spreadbets ?

[devilsprofessor] 05/2/2021 08:16

I'm in as if this morning. Having read the prospectus and watched this closely the last few days I can see this company has excellent prospects particularly during these current climates.Who else had the jingle 'moonpig.com' in their heads!

I suspect/hope that paper cards would be a small and reducing proportion of Moonpig’s business in 5-10 years, and perhaps negligible/zero in 20 years.

[winsome] 04/2/2021 08:20

Mynok, I don't see how paper greetings cards will go out of fashion. But its a static market. Everyone only has one birthday, Xmas and Valentine's day. The only way to growth is to take market share from a competitor. Which Moonpig has done big time during lockdowns. But high street card sales will recover soon. And that will grab sales back from Moonpig. Probably returning close previous levels because most people view Moonpig as a lazy option to give a card. Even if high st levels only return to 60 or 70% then Moonpig profits for next year will be whacked hard compared to 2020. And the current eye-watering share price will tank come their 2021 results day. No wonder the owners, after all these years, are cashing in now.

IMO it's an awfully buggy website, the cards are naff, and I instead use Thortful for my cards. I see paper greetings going out of fashion over the next five years and Moonpig suffering as a result. Just my two cents! Odd that it's only just gone public

[swordfish7] 03/2/2021 12:26

1.4 Billion !! ??
Seriously? That is a mental valuation.

[nesquikme] 02/2/2021 11:40

Kate Swan is superb. Buy and sit iho

[supertag] 02/2/2021 11:31

cannot buy on EQI. Probably till the 5th?

[sphere25] 02/2/2021 10:29

Nutty moves here.

Just another example of the froth out there and why so many have been wary recently. Yet it would appear that the party might be continuing onwards without any form of healthy correction.

The US indices are having their biggest test in a while and appear to have held the key levels at the moment with buyers coming in at under support levels to keep the key support levels intact.

So where does MOON end up in a bullish market like this?

Absolutely anywhere appears to be the answer. Makes it very hard to short anything in this market too - get clobbered in a flash.

50% in a day for IPO's nowadays? PAH! Throw it out the window! What is 50% in a day! :-)

All imo

Crazy valuation

[middlesboroughfc] 02/2/2021 08:32

The owner of the Moonpig brand in the U.K. and Greetz in the Netherlands is among companies that have benefited during lockdowns aimed at halting the spread of the coronavirus, with consumers turning to online shopping in droves.

This online retail boom last year spurred other e-commerce companies, such as THG Holdings Plc and Allegro.eu SA, to list in the U.K. and Poland, respectively. Since their IPOs, THG shares have surged 61%, while Allegro is up 87%.
