MMs will know and raise the price first anyway.

You should not be providing tips on here before subscribers have a chance to buy!

[patient fox] 16/1/2022 12:34

Wasp give paying subscribers a chance to buy first.

[waspfactory] 16/1/2022 12:12

And a buy recommendation in this month's SCSW won't do any harm :-)

Looks like you're right prokartace. With a 68.2p close it should accelerate its upward trend next week.

[prokartace] 05/1/2022 08:42

A lot of argument to suggest this is a medium term breakout

Make of this what you will.

P.S Fincap have issued a note on PHTM today.

It's available free via their website or research tree (again the free account login will suffice).

[thorpematt] 10/12/2021 14:45

Yes true...but I rather think that the northern hemisphere winter will see the last of them. And thus I believe that this quarter will be the lowest ebb for PHTM.

There is still a little bit of uncertainty in the business model of course but I continue to buy on any dips with a mid to long term view.

Just as we get better we start lock downs again !

Encouraging !

Trading Update

The Group's better than expected trading momentum in May, June and July continued in the fourth quarter of the financial year ended 31 October 2021, driven by continued recovery in photobooth activity and a strong Laundry performance. Consequently, the Board expects that revenue will be slightly ahead of previous expectations of approximately GBP210 million, and profit before tax (before exceptional items) will come in towards the upper end of previous expectations of between GBP25 million and GBP30 million, subject to completion of the FY21 audit process.

The Group continued to see recovery across most of its key markets. Continental Europe once again performed strongly, particularly driven by strong performance in France, and the UK returned to profitability benefitting from completion of the Group's previously-announced restructuring programme. After a significant increase in activity in Japan in the first half due to the My Number card scheme, activity in this market would have returned to more normal levels had it not been for border closures due to Covid restrictions, which resulted in a decrease in revenue in the region. For similar reasons, the market remains challenging in China. Excluding Asia, the Group is making good progress in returning to pre-pandemic performance levels in the last months.

During the year, the Group continued to deliver on its growth strategy, with the ongoing expansion of its Revolution Laundry operations, and extension of its Food business (Feed.ME) through the acquisition of a manufacturer of pizza vending machines. In addition, the Group extended its geographic footprint, taking the first commercial steps into Finland and, via a small vending acquisition, Australia. The rollout of the Group's new corporate brand strategy, ME Group, continues to strengthen its brand position and better reflects the significant diversification of its operations in recent years.

Financial Position

As at 31 October 2021, the Group had a net cash balance of GBP33.8 million. This is net of acquisitions during the year which amounted to GBP10.8 million. The Group's gross debt is GBP65.9m.

Looking forward

The Group has continued to perform strongly over recent months, despite ongoing macro-economic challenges. Most of its key markets have recovered well and business activity is returning to pre-pandemic levels. The Board remains cautious of the macro-economic challenges, which include rising inflationary cost pressures due to the widely reported issues across the supply chain and the ongoing pandemic. The Board will continue to monitor these closely.

The Group will publish results for the 12 months ended 31 October 2021 on 23 February 2021

I hope they can pay a divi
thats why i bought in

[azaman] 29/11/2021 18:22

Why did Serge buy so many stocks?

Could the interim result declare a dividend? This will give Serge a hush income.
It can not also be interpreted as an insider deal because Serge didn't buy any shares
in the last three months.

[azaman] 23/11/2021 10:15

A person can only buy so much.

[essentialinvestor] 23/11/2021 09:12

Serge appears to have stopped buying.

[azaman] 22/11/2021 13:27

[essentialinvestor] 12/11/2021 16:23

Covid cases rising rapidly again in multiple European countries, might be a factor?.
