Paypoint Share Discussion Threads

[charterhouse3] 17/5/2008 23:07

The six local PayPoint outlets that I keep in contact with have all said that business in the last couple of months has been extremely busy - the TV licence payment through PP terminals is now well estabished and, in the case of the London Borough of Croydon, the payment of council tax is now done via PayPoint or Post Office (for those that do not do via direct debit) after the council's own payment offices were all shut down on the 31st March this year.

On the assumption that there are many other councils that have taken a similar course of action to Croydon, I suspect that the forecast figures will be easily met but, more importantly, the guidance for the future may have to be revised upwards.

That's my feeling, and I bought some this week.
Bills don't go away,just 'cos its tough... and the bils are getting bigger.

I would of thought this is a good time to buy paypoint shares at current price 5.50ish,its had a stale 12 months share price wise,but the profit drives forward,saturation point must be all-most here in britain store wise,overseas looks good if they can sort the systems out.

After all we still have to pay are bills dont we !!

I have this from yahoo. anyone care to predict the accuracy, remembering their assumption in Feb all on track

The results are due sometime in May.

Certainly look good value at current levels and, barring general market turmoil, there should be a decent run up ahead of the figures.

its just a capital gains issue guys - you would be stupid not to bread and breakfast the cash
they will probably buy the stock back in April

[father o toole] 11/3/2008 09:18

those director were not so stupid after all, getting shot of all that stock,

[father o toole] 04/3/2008 12:08

i`d imagine there will be less people paying bills, simply because they cant afford to.

[halogen] 03/3/2008 15:52

All aboard,,

[father o toole] 03/3/2008 13:38

looks like others are joining the chairman.

Scottish loon?
Oh .. I know!
worse news still, there is a half page sell article in the Shares Mag.
'Follow the board's lead and SELL'
to be more reasoned, it admits the competition is declining, eg Payzone.
Cazenove..forecast earnings of 30.9p rising to 34.5 but at 600p the shares are selling on a P/E of almost 20, falling to 17.5 next year.. there is 'little support from a 2.6% yield'.

If you want my view (.. ok, I am attempting a rhetorical retort) the share price action until January has outrisen the falling markets, and so until the latest director howler, you cant say better than that, so it can hardly be surprising that the shorting, if any , will increase.

If you look further into this company, the Chairman's family still own close to 1 million shares.
Probably taking profits before the Scotish Loons latest theft takes place in April.

[father o toole] 21/2/2008 19:14

Its the most blantant sell by a chairman that i have ever seen, cleaned himself out as did the CEO, they couldn`t` even wait until the day after the results.

the period from end-September to Jan 27, 2008, are in line with market
expectations. The company said its revenues for the period rose 27 pct to 72 mln
stg.


=========================================================

If the chairman wont hold the stock, why the hell should anyone else?

[father o toole] 18/2/2008 17:07

Its a bit funny when the chairman sells 290k shares and leaves himself only 5k shares.

If i was a shareholder it would not fill me with confidence.

[father o toole] 18/2/2008 17:04

I am after that sell out by directors

Plus march trading boommmm is on the horizon,could well be up to a £1+ upside on the share price .

[corvidauk] 06/2/2008 18:33

From todays Daily Mail, possible reason for rise.

"Paypoint which runs one of the UK's leading premier branded retail systems for paying bills in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, jumped 29p to 621p amid talk that an acquisition is around the corner."
