Paysafe Share Discussion Threads

590p values the company at 14.5x 2018 forecast earnings...even withought the potentially earning enhancing acquisition announced to day....completely daft!

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:57

Low ball offer indeed. Clever to buy the other company to complicatePAYS know they must buy or be bought10/10 for trying

[pmwright77] 21/7/2017 07:57

I will not vote in favour of this very low offer - I want Paysafe to continue and would still vote against at 700p.

I tthink the private equity boys have worked out this is far too profitable to be on publicly traded markets and are on the rob.

I take it all the shorts disappeared or are some about to get whacked?

Silly season. Just recently a half hearted bid for WPG that lasted a twinkling of an eye, and now a low offer for PAYS. It seems companies are being nudged to get a feel for valuation before serious bids come in.

To me it completely kills the Asia merchant scare story so bid is helpful.

Delta aquisition may have been timed as a stumbling block to the rather ridiculous offer which constitutes only a few weeks growth in the share price

[kuss1] 21/7/2017 07:49

Too cheap...

Can't see this going through.

Still, nice to be wanted.

[longwell] 21/7/2017 07:47

travesty at 5.90, anything over 7.00 not great compared to future potential but I would accept, definitely voting NO.

[capt bligh] 21/7/2017 07:46

I agree QS.... also did they have to put the Asia Gateway stuff in the announcement... surely this is saying to anyone else out there : no need to worry about the china gambling stuff its sorted

[2bluelynn] 21/7/2017 07:45

Any thoughts on sit tight don't sell or sell half and sit it out the rest Thanks in advance

[steptoes yard] 21/7/2017 07:45

Was the offer made in the knowledge of the Delta acquisition?

[lomax99] 21/7/2017 07:45

Positive PA announcement would froth this up....

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:44

590 does look like a steal.Guesses of open price? 580?It is a poor premium to the current price

[lomax99] 21/7/2017 07:43

The offer announcement does not come with the recommendation of the board, can't see JL settling for £5.90 only to see BR take the cream a few years down the road....

[qs99] 21/7/2017 07:42

well the big boys are not signed up are they, only 10% on a non-binding basis and the board have not recommended it either, so IMO this has much further to play out and also IMO think others may join the party...DYOR etc, holding on for muchos higher....

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:42

FT reporting the TO approach

[jarega85] 21/7/2017 07:42

Good morning fellow holders!Very glad I continued to sit on my hands once I reached my target of 500p!Looks like I might be able to buy an island and new boat at this rate! Lol!

[eh9] 21/7/2017 07:42

Only an 8% premium to yesterday's close

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:39

Or bigger boys I should say

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:39

Still a decent premium to share price seen these go through all the time.If big boys already signed up then it is a done deal.Need a white knight to offer more. Could flush out the big boys

[steptoes yard] 21/7/2017 07:35

590 get very stuffed

[trentendboy] 21/7/2017 07:33

All going off. Spending 470 million and subject to a bid at 590.Valuation will be complicated today but one thing is for sure, Big jump at open!!Black rock do not mess about.Reality is PAYS PE is too low. Perfect for private equity to TO

[qs99] 21/7/2017 07:32

not sure it is a done deal IMO>..DYOR....Board have not recommended it unless I have missed something in which case defo DYOR! Looks a low ball offer, especially after deal announced this am....reckon this will heat up, will others that looked at WorldPay take a look now Blackrock's head are above the parapet? ARe there many assets of this scale left with both gone? DYOR etc...

[mip55] 21/7/2017 07:32

Nurdin....it would appear not:The Company has today separately announced the acquisition of Merchants' Choice Payment Solutions.This announcement has been made with the consent of the Consortium.Rather worrying that PAYS have not outrightly rejected this offer as materially undervaluing the company and,presumably, has asked its biggest shareholder for support of the proposed deal
