0955 GMT Numis Securities upgrades Betfair Group to buy from reduce and lifts its target price to 4000p from 2100p. The brokerage says the merger with gambling peer Paddy Power addresses earlier concerns and has integration and revenue synergy opportunities. "Post-merger we believe that management has positioned the business to return to a positive earnings trajectory having put attainable cost-cutting targets into the market," Numis writes. For the same reason, Paddy Power is moved to buy from hold. Betfair adds 0.3% and trades at 3269p.

Under cover boss, paddy power.

Well wexboy you are nearly right!

Yeah, That was weird and could have repercussions for breaking sanctions. Might be worth buying on a fall as bookies sons never go to school without shoes!

PP best mates with North Korea....
Unsurprisingly as this company is no longer Irish...
no one left on the board that's Irish...all UK people.
Would'nt bet with these Sassanachs now!!!

No it is still an Irish Co, which is bad means 1% stamp.
There are two big uncertainties here first is the rush by internet gaming sites to get punters and the huge spending on marketing and freebies. the second is that the UK want to tax internet betting based on where the punter is (they found something that wasn't heavily taxed). So this will be on the punter IP address location. Also GCHQ and NSA are monitoring everyone's internet activity and HMG need ever increasing amounts of money to pay for this. This will put many people off betting and encourage some smaller outfits to ignore the tax. These are both hitting PAP.

What do you mean? It's traded on the LSE.

[caveat_emptor] 21/11/2013 23:39

Paddy Power is now a UK company?

[philanderer] 19/11/2013 17:41

Nope, can`t find any broker recs.

I`m not holding here yet, just watching. I hold WMH and added a few more early today.

Thanks for that.. nobody in that discussion seemed sure whether to advise buying or selling!

[philanderer] 19/11/2013 12:46

Comprehensive analysis on Alphaville

[philanderer] 19/11/2013 08:34

Not much you can do about that. Hopefully big support at this 56p

Traditionally, it's been a good time to buy PAP when they have bad sports results, because one year's bad results is followed by the next year's good results. But I don't think the longer term growth rate seems to be looking so good now.

Im in at 5980 after research from traderdiary thought this is undervalued. It could have 800 point upside

[martinc] 09/8/2013 20:02

It's starting to look as though somebody knows somethign we don't know.

Davy stockbrokers doing them no favours with a downgrade. (For all that that's worth, they've been trumpeting PCI for yonks now, to no material advantage.)

[midasmonkey] 22/4/2013 10:45

Any ideas about a reason for the recent price falls ?
