cashflow looks ok

[scamper] 19/12/2018 10:28

turnover and figures are just numbers...cash flow is King...The Well looks deep. The share price does not care about IPO , only what is to come.

Directors buying

Consensus sentiment is to sell

Rico well underwater on his recent purchases.

Royal Mail are quite simply doomed.

Fair value is sub 100p.

On Monday In Cotteridge Post Office, Birmingham, I noticed that the postman who collected the Big Grey Bag passed through from behind the counter in early afternoon said "what, only one bag?".

PS - I was tremendously lucky with this share, having bought at 380 earlier in 2018 to sell out at about 630p ...

Won't happen wipo1

Yes probably unlikely but after reading an article saying Labour could confiscate shares in rbs or rmg without compensation that put me off.

None of that is new and all of it was known when the shares were twice their current level. Then the biggest fear was being renationalised, but given that is unthinkable below the flotation price that should now be a reason to buy.

Looks like rmg will be Corbyn couriers soon

.....not irrelivant(less burn is still burn, for now) , steady spiral downwards that will accelerate..as cash is burnt. Gearing will rise to offset it.Needs a majoring restructuring and overhaul.
Share price follows............at 2.80 it is still expensive ( loss making co)

[muffinhead] 18/12/2018 17:39

probably totally irrelevant...

From 2017/18 annual report page 27:

"Pension charge to cash difference adjustment (within people costs) £458 million for 2017/18
However...
"pension charge to cash difference adjustment for 2018-19 is expected to reduce significantly to around £90 million"

The only way i can see is to diverse out of their current dilemma, although not politically popular. Unions being the dead weight and sooner shed the better.
Diverse into non-union markets and taking share of market by going into the private sector and growing into those (local and international) and reducing the 'traditional RMG' over time with a view to switch customers over. Not an easy task! Strikes abound! Posties hanging round drums burning tyres and chestnuts and chanting.

topped up today 292p
they were 630 a few months ago.

[muffinhead] 14/12/2018 13:22

EV/EBITDA 4.2 for 2019 at 291p

But who will deliver all those Xmas cards?

[marcus wanky] 12/12/2018 14:57

LOL, out of FTSE 100, turn the light off on the way out.

[encarter] 12/12/2018 11:41

Marcus these were over 600p in 2018. Since your prediction in 2014 I've made a living out of trading these while you sat on the fence rubbing your crystal balls. Positive update mid January and these will be back above 500p imho.

£3.50 next peg
