The possible Future29 Oct 2017 19:56
Cabot / upon research are a Debt Recovery Company. All most certainly remote. PFG HC Customers had balances of say 2-6k. 200k Customers ( see PFG statements ) have either fled to a Competitor or just gone during the Train Wreck in Aug. Of the remaining Customers I cannot believe they are solid as a rock, having been subject to a inc in take up of longer term loans.
So we shall see what happens with PFG ex CEO and if he goes to Cabot ? You would have to say if he does then he will have a marked advantage / and as I've said before he is talented.
HC was only responsible for 30% of PFG profits before the wreckage. It was contributing �110m out of the �340m. Vanquis is ok and should remain strong long term. PFG have dabbled in Insurance before so perhaps opportunity there.
I am happy to remain on the sidelines and wait and see where ex CEO goes / because this could be a not previously accounted for Negative on the SP. I would look to reduce my exposure and take some short term profit if it was there / whilst keeping in there if I was in. Until I see very low 8's I will keep watching. Watch it go through the roof now ..
Hope this helps and I still maintain a good Share for the medium term ( 3 yr ). The Market almost needs them to succeed to allow others to succeed.
