Lovely Easter weather so the takings at all parks should be very good, still slowly climbing in SP will be in the 4's by Summer hopefully. GL
With the Easter break coming up the interest in this share should increase and hopefully so will the price. The broker estimates are between 430p and 380p so hopefully a steady rise to these prices will be seen from Easter onwards.
She sounds very well qualified loads of experience in advertising so I should think we will be getting much more advertising on TV and Radio.
more great deals advertised at W H Smiths looks like a bumper time this summer at Merlin venues.
Good for the pensioners(over55's) they can finally get their hands on the golden pot and start taking the grandkids out for some well earned fun ( maybe use the free Merlin days out vouchers!)
Loads of free entry tickets being advertised on products this week, Kelloggs are doing a Legoland deal, Alton Towers deal also on Rustlers products...I shall look for more as I shop and post here. :)
Against the grain today! ???
A gigantic 'moat' to rival's entry, you are looking at Disney for a comparison, IMO.
Is this a long termer then in your opinion, and what will it take to get into the FTSE 100 with the likes of Whitbread?
True, on first sight, Merlin's shares do not look screamingly cheap based on a consensus-forecast 2014 price-to-earnings multiple of 22 times. But the valuation doesn't look bad when compared with blue-chip peers such as Whitbread on 27 times, Carnival on 24 and InterContinental Hotels on 21. What's more, the diversity of Merlin's end-markets and the plethora of growth opportunities means the multiple can be regarded as a price worth paying. Sentiment towards the shares should also be bolstered by expectations that a dividend will start to be paid this year and the prospect of elevation into the FTSE 100
The £1bn debt pile is on the high side as it represents 2.6 times last year's underlying cash profits. However, the company has been alleviating borrowing pressures. During the year, negotiations resulted in an extended loan-maturity date of July 2019 and the current debt-to-cash-profit multiple is substantially down from 3.7 times in 2012. Ivestec expects this to fall to 1.4 times by the end of 2017. It's also worth noting that money is mostly owed to existing institutional shareholders Blackstone, CVC and Kirkbi after they clubbed together to form a lending syndicate
Sometimes it is worth paying up for quality, and we feel that is the case with London newcomer Merlin Entertainments (MERL). Recently reported results for 2013 underpin the case for investing in the leisure parks operator and support brokers' expectations of 15 per cent annual EPS growth for the foreseeable future. With a plethora of growth opportunities providing the potential for future upgrades, we think the shares can keep up the strong momentum established since November's 315p IPO. Merlin operates 99 attraction across 22 countries and such diversity means it offers excellent exposure to the long-term trend towards growing global leisure spend. Indeed, as the West recovers and consumers in emerging markets grow richer, global leisure spending is expected to increase by 5 per cent a year between 2011 and 2016. Merlin is in a particularly good position to exploit this due to its enviable brand portfolio, which includes well-known attractions such as Legoland, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE. Management is pursuing several strategies to exploit this growth potential. The opportunity is not lost on the group's well respected management team which is targeting several growth strategies. One area of potential involves getting more money from visitors at existing sites by expanding the amount of accommodation on offer and thereby encouraging more revenue-boosting multi-day visits. For 2014, the company has already laid out plans for a second hotel at the Chessington World of Adventures Resort and Legoland Deutschland will add 68 bedrooms. The long-term target is to add 200 rooms a year to the portfolio
When a share gains promotion to the FTSE one of the pluses is that the FTSE Tracker Funds need to purchase shares to remain representative, this can give the sp a boost. ATB.
Q.What effect does this have on a company? Will this make the SP loads higher? sorry for ignorance
