One broker upgrades and it spikes; i thought everyone ignored broker recs!!

On the second line, limited newsflow put broker comment in focus, with Paypoint the top riser, up 42 pence to 542, after being upgraded to 'buy' from 'neutral' by UBS on valuation grounds.

The broker said while Paypoint's headline valuation is unlikely to ever look compelling, the current share price offers an attractive entry point into a high quality stock with several long-term attractions.

it's amazing, those 25k sells are having no effect, i wonder if the yanks are buying in.

[omalaha] 23/8/2006 12:57

lots of selling but the bid is holding; a very good sign.

Coria - i bought in recently because it looked cheap and i reckoned there was a seller. It appears the seller has cleared and a buyer has come on the scene - unless that was your 43398 @ 540p!! Watching L2 it went crazy about 9am. There was a 25k sell at 540p but the MMs are short, so took it gladly. I love outfits that generate loads of cash business and i'm looking for £6 with a trading statement due soon.

Hope you're right omalaha....I'm in now, hope this goes all the way back up....I feel it deserves to......obviously!

[omalaha] 23/8/2006 09:44

600p coming soon? MMs desperate for stock; must be a big buyer.

[omalaha] 21/8/2006 09:05

can anyone confirm that a trading statement is due at the beginning of sept?

[omalaha] 21/8/2006 08:59

zz - EPY is a really good growth stock imo; excellent one to tuck away as i can't see much downside at the moment.

[zztop] 20/8/2006 08:35

any one here looked at epay EPY.... and if so what do you think TIA

Looking at l2 this am, 4 MMs moved onto the offer at open. Those who bought late yesterday may have got a bargain. Could be the seller has cleared and this is set to rise. I've bought 2 lots today; v.attractive spread.

Slog - I haven't been watching the trading closely; just wondering if an insti hasn't been slowly offloading some over the last month; they do that from time to time, and not necessarily for a negative reason. The market loves cash companies, so if business is in line then this is a buy at 500p imo.
The last trading was in march, presumably there's one due in a few weeks then?

[slogsweep] 18/8/2006 08:18

Can't see the reason for this steady fall , business seems ok no announcements. Summer madness I suppose look to add if falls much lower

[omalaha] 17/8/2006 16:03

i wonder if this is going to test the autumn 480p support, or is it being shorted to 500p; any thoughts anyone?

Anything to report from the AGM ?

[charterhouse3] 25/6/2006 13:54

The agm is this week (I am looking forward to attending).
I'll be asking how the TV licence contract is shaping up.
There has been a huge buyer mopping up stock - initially at 660p and recently at 640p. This has given a solid floor on the shares.
Encouraging noises from the agm will push the share price onwards and upwards.

In a shop last week I picked up a leaflet on Paypoint detailing their services and how to do it.Good promotion.

[scotch broth] 08/6/2006 11:50

My TV licence renewal form arrived today.It presents Paypoint as a major payment option.

[scotch broth] 07/6/2006 10:21

Press reports say Paypoint will enter the FTSE250 shortly.Tracker funds will buy in lending some support.

[scotch broth] 25/5/2006 08:29

Good results with EPS up to 25p and a positive outlook.In this share the valuation multiple is everything and in these markets it is not risk free.I topped up yesterday and now see the position as hold.

[s50cam] 25/5/2006 07:41

Results out

[haroldthegreat] 21/5/2006 22:27

i wonder what % paypoint earns out of each transaction ?

[scotch broth] 17/5/2006 17:43

Harold.
Your comments on Western Union very interesting.
Paypoint's final results next week may go someway towards justifying the high valuation if they show strong growth.Meanwhile the share price is riding the current stormy market well, perhaps because it has no exposure to oil and the U.S.

[haroldthegreat] 17/5/2006 11:54

i have not got any opinions, can't understand why these have shot up in the past few months
it must be hope that the western union addition to the range of services will put up profits
as a previous western union agent, which i ceased to participate in a few years ago ,i found that the paperwork involved whem money laundering rules came in made it a waste of time for the amount of profit earned in each transaction
i am staying in because i have seen 100% increase but cant help thinking that the bubble will burst
