taken a bit of a kicking this morning, given the half yearly report is actually not that bad, given the challenging conditions, and recovery from Alton Towers incident last year, they are not doing bad, the profits are up nicely, perhaps on the lower end of expected forecasts, and the interim divi is up exactly the same as last year on the previous, so stepping .10 each time, yet a 3.5% drop right off the bat this morning :( ..... this is one unloved stock, given the very good outlook and expansion that they have in place.
highest SP this stock has ever been at, couple of brokers taking interest, but forecasts are not much over 500, think i'll consider taking some profit and selling up if we hit 500
steady rise to 4.70+ and little interest shown here, i'm surprised there isn't some chat, given their fairly solid track record
Got close to 50% profit on my holding here earlier this year, probably should have sold and bought back in at the inevitable fall point, oh well, ce la vi, i'm still in the blue, bought in when they floated, so havent been a bad performer
BBC report on Alton towers visitors numbers down by 25%. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-36399128
Apologies for board hopping but- The petition is going quite well; ~5000 signatures so far. Although it really needs a turbo boost. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112044/sponsors/frRbCOsOLO6QqIN82UOX This petition was stalled in parliament since 12th Aug 15; finally green lit on 12th feb 2016. The FCA don't even reply on the matter, now is your chance to have your say. If you hate seeing buys reported as sells etc!!!!!! Has already been sent to Martin Lewis, Daily Mail, Moneyweek & Watchdog. My local MP supported this petition by writing to the petitions committee to help un-stall it. There’s 650 MP’s in Westminster, So have you written to your MP? 649 to go! If this petition doesn’t reach 10,000; then imo we might as well have not bothered as it will almost certainly be filed B1N; @ 10,000 the government should respond. We are currently getting approx. 100 new signatures a week, but need 3x that amount to reach the target with only 15 weeks to go. So – If you haven’t yet signed or indeed have but haven’t passed it on to others, then now’s the time to do so. If each person who has signed can get just one other person to sign then we will double the total immediately. I have posted to all aim listed gas n oilies, currently doing the footsy 100. But I can only do so much to push this. Really need you guys & gals to help. Thanks to all who have signed so far. We really need a social / media savvy individual to help generate more interest in this.
Guessing Mulder's crystal ball could do with a clean!!! Don't think 300p is coming any time soon. ATB
Rising nicely, gutted I couldn't get more at 300p !
Hope so!
300p on the cards
Market report: FTSE 100 enters December on a positive note By Marion Dakers 6:37PM GMT 01 Dec 2015 Merlin Entertainments shares rose 5.8p to 415p, taking the theme parks operator further above the trough it saw over the summer after an accident at Alton Towers. The firm, one of the few big companies reporting results, said that while the tragedy on the Smiler ride continued to discourage visitors to the site, the overall business was performing in line with forecasts for the year.
Questor» Merlin shares look expensive as growth slows The FTSE 100 entertainment group has been struck by a tragic accident and the lower growth profile brings the share rating under question, says Questor 01 Dec 201
Thanks for getting back to me
I've just had the following notification from my broker concerning Merlin: 'As a shareholder, you will be delighted to know that Merlin Entertainments are again offering the Merlin Shareholder Special Discount. The offer is available for those who owned at least 317 shares as at the close of trading on November 6, 2015 and entitles the holder to a 40% discount on either two adult Merlin Annual Passes or one Family Merlin Annual Pass purchase (Premium or Standard). Please note this perk is only available to investors in the UK and Channel Islands.' Hope you are able to make use of this offer. Back in the 90's and 00's, living in W London, we used to go to either Thorpe Park or Chessington most w'ends with the kids, and even popped down some afternoons after school to get the most out of our Annual passes. The kids thought we were the best parents ever.....sadly they grew up!! ATB.
Sub 300 When?
Share hunter: Merlin works its magic on group’s prospects http://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/619609/Share-hunter-Merlin-works-magic-prospects MERLIN Entertainments is the world’s second-largest visitor attraction operator, behind global leader Disney. By RICHARD HUNTER PUBLISHED: 00:01, Mon, Nov 16, 2015
.........couple of interesting sites being looked at over the next few weeks. :-)
Hi quick question for anybody that can help, the discount codes received for holding shares in the company are they a one off or will I receive a code every year providing I hold the shares, thank you...
JV announced with China Media Capital to open Legoland in Shanghai and other attractions in China. Helped the SP today which is useful in the aftermath of Alton Towers tragic accident
So you predicted a 5p drop.... Anyway, I too see this needing to test 350p before it gains legs again, Im not too sure what catalyst there is for short term price movement being anything but drifting downwards.
@tayalsmith you hardly need a crystal ball to make that prediction, considering the SP has already fell to below your prediction today already. How about an actual prediction of where this might bottom out? My prediction is 350, looks like it may be floating down to August 2014 levels.

Took the kids to Alton towers yesterday and was shocked to see it was pretty much empty. We didnt have to queue for more than 10mins at any of the rides. Even Oblivion had very little queuing. Lets hope their other attraction numbers can compensate until memory fades on the AT debacle.
