£3.20 ish next couple of days

Still loooks good this. No impact from the wider market scrawl which is good. Some stocks are back to their lows in February or have given up a big chunk of their gains

We should expect a trading update in August - PTEC's website shows they have done so in the past few years. Stockopedia is showing Thursday Aug 20 as the next update, PTEC's own website is showing zip.

PTEC made Euro 140m EBITDA in the first 4 months. If they continue at that rate, they would be +10% on last years Euro 383m.

The trading part of their business was only 2% of their EBITDA total last year.

B2B 56%, B2C 42%

It was a little under 7 weeks ago that PTEC announced a US contract. I envisage more deals this year and when the deals come we should see a lot more investor interest in PTEC.

NEW YORK -- July 15, 2020 -- Tilting Point, a leading free-to-play game publisher, has acquired free-to-play mobile games and assets from gambling technology software leader Playtech plc. Tilting Point’s acquisition includes assets of San Diego-based FTX Games, known for publishing Narcos: Cartel Wars, The Walking Dead: Free Casino Slots and Criminal Minds: The Mobile Game, and St. Petersburg-based Plamee Studios, the developer behind Narcos: Cartel Wars.  The deal marks Tilting Point’s third acquisition in the past eight months after LTV tech platform Gondola and Character Collection Role Playing Game Star Trek Timelines. Tilting Point has already taken over operations of all three of the FTX live games, and the production of another title in development.

 

The acquisition of FTX Games assets and Plamee Studios from Playtech comes at a time when the gambling technology leader has taken the strategic decision to focus on its core business developing best-of-breed gaming and sports betting products and content.  FTX Games unites best-in-class entertainment franchises with the world’s best development teams, and has led to a string of engaging and successful games which have rallied tens-of-millions of fans around properties like The Hunger Games, Mission: Impossible, Criminal Minds, Narcos, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. Their game Narcos: Cartel Wars, based on the hit Netflix series by Gaumont International Television and developed by Plamee Studios, is a top-grossing game with over $60M in revenue since launch.  Narcos: Idle Cartel, a second game based on the hit Gaumont series, was announced earlier this year as being in development by Tilting Point and Big Wolf Games, making Tilting Point the sole publisher of the only two Narcos ;mobile games on the market.

I mean, GVC buying PTEC would not be out of the questionBrings a lot of B2B but.... ptec sprawling but massive cost savings

[the white house] 16/7/2020 08:09

New surprise GVC boss today is ex tech savvy COO PlaytechThe rumour starts here...

[nod] 16/7/2020 02:47

Goldman Sachs benefitted from trading volume. PTEC will be as well. Last year TradeTech looked like a terrible purchase. This is year it could be our saviour.

[trentendboy] 15/7/2020 19:53

Looks like it - missed the long today at plus 2 percent Could push back to 4 nowWatching carefully

[john09] 15/7/2020 17:05

On the turn?

[john09] 10/7/2020 17:18

They covered it in passing last time. Sometimes that means they follow up the following month . Also there’s been the NJ news since the last one so it gives them some meat in the sandwich . Lets see

[trentendboy] 10/7/2020 17:11

That based on information or guess.

[john09] 10/7/2020 16:47

I think momentum investor might tip this one tonight . Lets see

[john09] 10/7/2020 10:43

888 going well

[john09] 10/7/2020 09:52

I think this will be £4.50 on the next trading update.

[hatfullofsky] 09/7/2020 14:55

I would like to see a HY trading update but they didn't last year

[john09] 08/7/2020 16:46

This up trend is holding. Just. Hoping markets turn again soon

[trentendboy] 07/7/2020 14:40

Given the amount I ploughing through spreadetiing companies they must be coining it in

[hatfullofsky] 07/7/2020 08:52

Strong results from PLUS and CMC (last week). More than likely TradeTech will be continuing it's strong performance.
