i will add if it comes to 320p

Calm down, calm down.

A listed company is just the vehicle to raise acquisition capital through. Ingenico and Wirecard wanted to buy Worldpay also and having both been rejected will want to have something to say about that and may look to go on offensive and take out potential targets before Worldpay can get organised. makes for a very interesting 6 months ahead - could be the perfect time for a bid for PAYS

[eh9] 24/11/2015 12:30

I would have thought worldpay would need to pay around £6. Might just be imminent

[tjbird] 24/11/2015 12:28

Worldpay will bid for these, £6?

EH9 - must be getting close I am sure PAYS board want a main market move before year end - 20 day period after "publishing" - so that would have PAYS listed on main market just before y/e and a few months before inclusion in the FTSE250 from 20th March 2016.

[eh9] 24/11/2015 11:10

I reckon iis verbally being told the prospectus due to be published

[cestnous] 24/11/2015 11:03

Looks more like a breakout after consolidation to me, especially on a day like today. Let's hope it continues.

[heliweli] 24/11/2015 09:23

Blast off.

A sudden perk-up? Just getting back into high park's channel :) Run your winners.

The 29 October RNS has knocked us down into a new channel. Let's hope it's an upward channel. Don't think the name change has helped a lot, either.

Any graphs of the uptrend.

[dlku] 23/11/2015 22:51

[trentendboy] 23/11/2015 20:24

New recent highs

Hopefully it will push on and up from here

[turboil65] 23/11/2015 17:55

Great finish, just wish the after hours trades were in the 360's and not 340's and 350's.

[scottishfield] 23/11/2015 17:14

Yes, it was a nice end to the day, hopefully progress fm here.

[wolfhound1] 23/11/2015 17:01

strong buys into the close with good lift in share price - someone knows something ?

[heliweli] 23/11/2015 17:01

Nice finish, about time we left the 350's behind.

Jim Slater: My latest tip improves the odds in the stock market casino
Sir James Goldsmith told Jim Slater: 'If you want to gamble, own the casino.' That's why he's tipping this share

'If you want to gamble,’ said Sir James Goldsmith, 'own the casino’

One evening about 20 years ago I was talking about gambling with my friend, the late Sir James Goldsmith. “If you want to gamble,” he said, “own the casino.”
With this kind of thinking in mind I recommend to you a company that benefits substantially from the dramatic worldwide growth in gambling but does not take risks on the bets being made.
The company, which made it through all the “sieves” I use to evaluate shares, is Optimal Payments (soon to be renamed Paysafe Group), which offers online payment solutions to merchants and consumers and provides services to businesses and individuals to allow the processing of payments by direct debit, electronic cheques and credit cards.
An excellent 46‑page circular by Citi explains that gambling customers like to use “e‑wallets”, because they pay instantly, maintain anonymity and allow payments to multiple gambling sites without the tedium of having to enter personal details again and again. Following Optimal’s recent acquisition of its main rival, Skrill, e‑wallets should account for about 45pc of the forecast future profits of the enlarged group.
Payment processing (30pc of future profits) is very competitive so it has lower margins. Optimal can also now distribute prepaid payment vouchers for secure online transactions (25pc of future profits).
ADVERTISING

On August 10 Optimal completed the Skrill acquisition, more than doubling the size of the group. The deal was superb because it enhanced earnings, improved the quality of those earnings and has the scope for very substantial synergistic savings as the two companies are rationalised.
The enlarged group should provide significant future cashflow, which will bring borrowings down while preserving sufficient cash and facilities to fund future acquisitions.
The numbers look very attractive to me. At the present price of 327p the 2016 price to earnings (p/e) ratio is 16, based on forecast growth in earnings per share of 28pc for the year ahead. Cashflow is likely to be excellent, there has been no selling by directors, there is a fast-rising dividend yield, currently 1.8pc, and the relative strength of the shares against the market has been very positive recently.
There are a number of reasons why the share price is likely to rise:
1. Potential savings from the Skrill acquisition are at least $40m (£26m) a year and could be much more. Margins should also improve and there will be many opportunities for cross-selling.
2. Both Numis, the stockbroker, and Barclays have a target price of 450p. Citi’s “base-caseR21; target is 400p, with a “bull-caseR21; target of 455p.
3. Citi compared Optimal with a range of similar companies. The bank found that on average the peer group was 20pc more expensive, providing justification for a rise in the valuation of Optimal’s shares.
4. Strong free cashflow will facilitate more acquisitions, which are likely to enhance earnings immediately.
5. Optimal has been an Aim stock but has now applied to join the main market in October. With a market value of about £1.5bn the company is a very likely candidate for the FTSE 250 index later in the year, with consequent buying by fund managers who track the index.

According to Citywire,15000 Worldpay retailers were unable to accept credit card and debit card payments last week.Listened to a podcast of Radio 4 Money Box from Wednesday,very interesting discussion on online payments,mainly security. GLA.

Graph profiles beginning to look very similar to start of September - if true to form we should se a breakout to the upside shortly - IMHO we should push past 380p
