GBP will strengthen imv, sentiment on £ ridiculously bearish.

From Finncap's note late last year,

"While current trading is a beneficiary of Sterling weakness, near-term FX
volatility prevents us from upgrading our FY forecasts at this stage. In the event, however, that Euro and Yen exchange rates remain at current levels
or lower, existing forecasts have considerable upside risk.

Finncap reiterated their 215p target yesterday.

PHTM tends to get hammered on Brexit-related selloffs because you have to look more carefully at the numbers to see that a lot of business is done offshore. The price didn't rise as sharply after the vote as the FTSE100 companies on the back of the falling pound.

Ex-dividend next Thursday. You stand a chance of getting them then.

Decided to try "Order to Open" in IG Index for Photo Me (for December 2017). Never done it before so its tiny to see what goes wrong.

Opened 1 point to buy (equiv 100 shares - yes, wow) at 155.5p "good till" 5 April, 23:59 pm. If anyone copies me but sets it at 155.6p and there are only 100 shares available then you get it rather than me. Leave off, they are mine.

They rolled out the technology in France over a one year ish - maybe a bit longer -period and it didn't dent the results. Slightly bigger territory in terms of geography too

Brilliant news from Ireland, fully endorsed by the Irish Govt spokesman. This new business must generate large and sustainable profits for years ahead, especially as Boots seems to be withdrawing from the market.

And yet the share price gets marked down on the day! Perverse.

Perhaps the thought of the initial investment in new machines and software is inhibiting some investors. But Photo-Me is well capitalised to meet substantial capital infrastructure costs in cash, let alone its ability in financing the new Irish business through debt finance.

Yes, let's wish them luck with the Ireland venture...could be quite key for follow on opportunities

[el-tel] 30/3/2017 17:11

On the other hand with the news from Ireland it might go up.

[swiftascent] 30/3/2017 16:54

And then I'll be having some more

[shanksaj] 30/3/2017 16:42

Looks like it could fall to about 155p or even 145p if there's another panic attack.

The 3m odd EU nationals here, might need some new photo id card.

[b1ggles] 29/3/2017 09:02

Very unlikely, Adil, though future ones may be dk blue once again - and quite a few people might choose to 'lose' their maroon one in order to get a new 'British' passport..

But Brexit could resurrect the idea of ID cards again.

[adilzaidi786] 29/3/2017 08:40

Gleach23 - yes I saw that and that's what got me thinking. They also had a feature on passports (inc. a PHTM booth!) and got me wondering that we may all need new passports (and photos) with Brexit.

[gleach23] 28/3/2017 19:11

adilzaidi - chap on The One Show just now has been talking about the new £1 coin. He reckons the Royal Mint have been working with vending machine manufacturers/operators for the last 12 months and 80% are ready for the new coin. The drop dead date for the remaining 20% is October 15th.

[yf23_1] 28/3/2017 17:33

Nice triangular wedge forming.

[adilzaidi786] 28/3/2017 16:29

I hope the photobooths can take the new pound coins!

[eeza] 23/3/2017 14:04

Schroders increased by 1mill. Begs the question who is selling to them and forcing the price down.

[ny boy] 21/3/2017 23:08

Tks 113mike!

[113mike] 21/3/2017 11:32

From previous update..."The Group's performance for the first half was ahead of the Board expectations and the Board therefore now expects the Group's profits will significantly exceed current market expectations for the financial period ending 30 April 2017. The Board continues to be optimistic about the Group's future prospects."Finals due end of June -ish

[113mike] 21/3/2017 11:24

Future us bright, long term holder, added more recently, just one to tuck away.
