This is a stock to hold 5-10 years, I have been holding long term, collecting decent dividends, not really bothered about the share price moves over the short term but I did do some recent Christmas shopping, going away to warmer climes in a few weeks for the winter to recharge the batteries.

Will check back in on progress in the Spring.

The share price has moved up through the moving averages which is good bull signal.

[biteherbutt] 17/12/2019 08:10

Ready to spike again

[masurenguy] 16/12/2019 16:55

Nice close - could break back over £1 next week.

EssentialInvestor - 8476: people increasingly using mobile phones for passport pics. So the big danger for profitability is what if this spreads to other countries? Any thoughts on that?.

EI - the main defence against alternative options, like mobile phones for passport pics, and the future growth potential for the photo booth sector resides in evolving integrated digital security and biometric data solutions that they can provide. It also makes sense to diversify their vending expertise within their existing network on a synergistic basis. I topped up here @90p first thing this morning after last nights election result.

"Governments are increasingly seeking improved and digitalised security ID to combat fraud and territorial activity and we have continued to expand the photo ID capabilities and services available in our photobooths. In addition to traditional 2D photo identification services, we have cutting edge technologies that offer governments secure integrated solutions, including biometric data capture, secure and direct transfer of data to government servers and 3D facial image capture via our photobooths. We work closely with national institutions to fully understand government standards and security requirements. To date, our government ID security solutions have been successfully deployed in the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, China, Japan, Georgia and the Republic of Ireland." ID information in their IR section.

"The Group now has more than 12,000 photobooths (out of a total of 28,439) connected to government organisations for the secure upload of photo ID in the UK and Continental Europe and it is anticipated that this number will continue to grow as discussions with governments to deploy this technology progress."

Yup, indeed.

[partridge1948] 13/12/2019 14:48

That has been the risk for some time (hence main reason for diversification of income streams), but other countries so far have resisted allowing possible photo-shopping of selfies. Just possible that all governments might require psychometric details as ID assumes greater relevance in data protection - in which case PHTM could benefit, but agree the risk is currently quite high.

[essentialinvestor] 13/12/2019 14:12

There is one point I would make which may go some way to explain the current share price
Look at the operating profit for UK/ROI, it's cratered on revenue declined in UK ID.
The fixed costs mean any turnover declined is X on the P&L.
This is not a result of consumer confidence issues IMV,
it's people increasingly using mobile phones for passport pics.

So the big danger for profitability is what if this spreads to other countries?

Any thoughts on that?.

Well Schroders are adding to their position

[partridge1948] 13/12/2019 13:25

Dan David Foundation (charitable organisation set up by late chairman of PHTM)has reduced this week but still holds 10.6 million shares.Perhaps this could be holding the price back. Patience needed,but I am happy to collect the divis and wait to see what happens.

Director's buying has always been seen as a good signal. Then again, there is exception to everything.
