UTV.L Share Price (UTV)

UTV Media is up on talk that a long-awaited takeover by ITV could be imminent. 12th October 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/business/marketforceslive/2015/oct/12/ftse-100-falls-back-after-recent-gains-with-rolls-royce-down-4

Bought this morning at 139p. Utv are funny shares which seem to ebb and flow quite a lot over the years. Hopefully they can generate a decent amount of advertising as more money becomes available to the big boys. I would like those nice people at utv to return me a nice 50% profit by Christmas.

Hi Jolly, Yes I would agree ( in the short term at least )... They are really getting stuffed in the Republic, especially outside of Prime time! The losses are now looking at up to 6 times the predicted £2- £3m loss ( last August) & we could well see sub-100p the way this is panning out. 'Not familiar with #CGS, but I hear what you are saying... It's sitting looking mighty Ugly in my Hot Ducks P/f but that is 21% up in 11 months so I will just park it & wait for the rights issue or maybe average down. VBR, as ever

EV/EBIT c10 (perhaps a little higher given challenges)...dyor ...does it really deserve a rating higher than CGS, say (similar MCAP/EV...CGS higher MCAP and lower EV) ...this grey area between FTSE 250 nose bleed ratings (aping bond yields I guess) and the tiddlers down below is intriguing

More sh*te audience figures from UTV in the Republic & yet more cash burn. Meh!
