Looks an interesting year ahead at paypoint,with the romania venture going well with more contracts signed and on board,terminal base expanding also,could well be in to profit very soon,

also paypoint.net could well be the real growth area in the near future when paycash becomes well known to people.

SHAM' TALKS ON CLOSURE OF POST OFFICES



POST office closures are being "bulldozed" through by the Government despite concern from local people, a senior MP claimed today.


Edward Leigh said consultation over the near-2,500 closures had been little more than a "sham", with people given just a few weeks to air their views.

The Tory MP, who is chairman of the Public Accounts Committee which monitors the National Audit Office's work, accused the Business Department of riding "roughshod" over residents' worries.

In a report published today, he said: "Given the importance to many in the community of a local post office, I am amazed at the feeble attempt to communicate with people."

His criticism comes after the National Audit Office – the public spending watchdog – highlighted flaws in the handling of closures and restructuring.

Poor communication about some closures had caused customer "resentment", while introducing some of the promised new "outreach" services, such as mobile offices to replace post offices in 500 locations, was behind schedule.

The NAO added that planned refurbishments had been completed in only 447 of the 700 branches expected to attract more business as a result of the closures.

Mr Leigh said: "While the Business Department has been efficient in driving forward the closure programme it has had less success in other aspects of the programme.

"The consultation period lasted only a few weeks and research showed that just 18 per cent of people knew they were being consulted.

"I regard the consultation as little more than a sham. The department ran roughshod over local residents' concerns and bulldozed the proposals through.

"What of the promises to protect customers? The outreach services are late, and the refurbishments to help the remaining post offices cope with increased demand have not been carried out in nearly four out of 10 cases."

impressive start to June for PAY.

Hit £5 today - a higher move will probably take some time therefore a good time to take profits.

Paypoint,article taken from todays independent

Our view: Buy

Share price: 462p (+7p)

The very fact that the electronic payments group Paypoint has increased its dividend (yes, that's right, do not adjust your newspaper, increased) probably makes it worth buying without any further investigation needed.

Those opting to have a further look can only be encouraged. Yesterday, the company posted a 19 per cent increase in like-for-like profits and boasted that in most areas, its growth was continuing apace. Paypoint reckons it can increase its market share in the electronic bill payments market and that, with moves into areas such as parcel delivery and the further expansion of its Romanian business, the future looks rosy.

However, there are those who disagree. Watchers at Numis said last night: "We do not regard PayPoint as a high organic growth company... we do not think the company is recession-proof, we think mobile top-up commission levels are likely to come under further pressure and ultimately we regard cash transactions as being in long-term structural decline." Others agree.

Paypoint's chief executive, Dominic Taylor, says this is all tosh. Yes, he concedes, mobile top-up is slowing, but there are plenty of other parts of the business that continue to grow. For the time being at least, we would agree with him. Buy.

plenty of stuff on this site on paypoint - including a numis downgrade

[wjccghcc] 28/5/2009 09:06

Although earnings are forecast to drop this year - possibly because of Romania and Collect+ losses.

[halogen] 28/5/2009 07:26

With results this week 20% upside must be share price wise.

[halogen] 06/5/2009 12:52

A real see-saw ride this morning,which ways it going answers on a postcard ?


Remember out of the 67,700,397 ordinary shares issued about 52 million are in the big boys hands eg,

invesco 25%
troy asset management 10%
lansdowne 9%
rit capital partners 9%
axa 8%
jupitar 6%
legal & general 4%
standard life 3%,

so any stock coming to market can move paypoint major ways.

I did here a story a few weeks ago that they could double the divi {one of the broadsheets} but i cant see it myself,

papertalk !!
