That cash situation you mention combined with the market conditions makes our potential acquisitions a lot cheaper for us. Cash is king here. No doubt about it.
As mentioned earlier the growth alone from the TV deals we have will continue to see us re-rate but if we do make an acqusiition then it will come a lot sooner and would be very welcome. "We are very pleased to report our decisive action at the end of 2014 has delivered such a positive outcome with all of our KPIs holding strong. In a post POC market, our strategy to focus on TV-led customer acquisition, supported by digital marketing, has proved successful. "This alongside the Group's solid marketing performance and opportunistic acquisition strategy supported by a robust cash position gives us confidence for the year ahead and beyond.""
How many companies out there dream of having so much cash in the kitty when there is so much market turmoil going on. The cash makes this a sfe home and one with the bonus of SP growth a decent divi and the prospect of a sudden bid for the company at arouns 15p or 20p plus!!
Got to agree with previous posters. With results like that and the scale of growth being achieved, rather than NPT acquiring assets I can can see NPT being acquired. I think NPT could very well be taken out but in order to buy a company generating cash, profits and with a clear path of solid growth, whoever decides to make an offer will have to pay a very hefty premium on todays share price.
Right now about 60% of its mkt cap is in cash!! This is a very good bet for a buyout.
I think this will be a prime takeover target. It has a big lump of cash and a business that is throwing of more cash. It has to scale up or be bought out. I favour being bought out.
Why is 32 red trading at £160 and net play at 0.9p when they both do the same thing and net play has the tv deals to attract even more customers ????
I invested for the core gaming and the growth involved. These other acquisitions if they come off would be icing on the cake but the core gaming is huge growth in itself. Key Performance Indicators 21% increase in new depositing players to 42,305 (H2 2014: 35,102; H1 2014: 40,585) 13% increase in active depositing players to 63,411 (H2 2014: 56,079; H1 2014: 62,356) Net revenue of £12.7m (H2 2014: £12.9m; H1 2014: £14.5m) Operational Highlights New three year partnership agreement signed with Channel 5/Viacom† Succesful implementation of revised marketing strategy Key KPIs remain strong Launched fully responsive SuperCasino site ensuring a consistent user experience across all devices Increased average revenue per active depositing players across the casino-only brands of £273 (H2 2014: £270; H1 2014: £265)
The pools deal was a shocking deal and I am glad it never came off. Why invest in a dead business. And one the clearly couldnt afford. Now that that foolishness is out of the way they might get a grip on things and sit tight for the offer that might well come. 15p for an opportunist buyout perhaps ? The cash pile is growing , it wont go unoticed in the sector.
Had that deal come off as intended this would have done multiples of today's share price. If that's the benchmark and the type of deals that the directors are looking for it won't be long till we get one that will send us in to the big league. Quite obvious that the directors are very ambitious and aiming for big things with this company.
No worries might be worth entering now after recent activity especially if 9p gets paid and before update but research company first
thanks topdog... I won't forget the dividend this time
Last 4 years January TA's have been as follows... 2015 = 13/01 2014 = 09/01 2013 = 07/01 2012 = 10/01 I'm guessing that the Football pools sojourn has delayed this years'? But also, 8.5p paid in almost double the avg' daily trading volume, already today... Now 20% up on my 7p double up,,,TA must be about to Pop! GLA
The ex dividend date will be around 21/05/16 or 22nd going of previous years
someone would kindly tell me when is the next ex dividend date - ?
hopefully is by a director -
Large buy of £25,000 just gone through at ask may stir some more interest hopefully I need 15p to break even
Been a holder of this share for far too long - have taken two (or maybe more) round trips over the years and have been bullish on the sector. Averaged in at around 11p. NPT management simply has to share more, particularly after how this stock has performed over the last 14 months. If you want to acquire other firms to grow yourself, you need the shares to be of value. I cannot see many new buyers taking an interest in NPT with the information that is available. Inform the market NPT BOD - it cannot get much worse for you unless there is something material wrong and you are hoping for a miracle - obviously I hope that this is not the case.
Hi TopDog, Most probably a leak as there is a new TA expected any day now... Also, there has been strong interest since #NPT came back to the MKT! GL & Best regards, Blue
Looks like netplay has woken up in the past few days maybe a leak of news?
...& double the average trading volume... ...of which, 85% were buys. GLA
17 x the average daily trading volume & 88% are buys as she comes back in to play... So 'doubled up at 7p GLA
alexia 93 where are you going to pick up a steady £12-16m ebita for perhaps 5-7x earnings not to mention GP of 40%! Those earnings have been rock solid for years and could be massively improved with a switched on management not to mention cross selling opportunities! You would know how good your management is and whether they are capable of sweating the assets, I don't know but T.Sagi does and he wants the Pools. Hope it turns out well for you guys.
Hi, How do you know re the competition? Also has ST commented on this share recently and what is his view?
