Bloomberg: definitely a different take but when exactly was the earnings forecast done?
The Eldorado takeover of Caesars was only completed in July, WMH deal with CG Technology approved in August and the Michigan casino sportsbook only opened last week.
Must come from the same school of idiocy as the guy from IC. They noted the potential of the US market, didn't realise US sports hadn't even started so waffled about disruption to sports, then recommended WHM as a sell after the last trading update with the price in the doldrums :D
Yep, can only see the price going up and the bidding going higher. It's not about what the company is worth now but where it will be in a few years time.
Interestingly, the 23rd October deadline for bids is the exact same day of the next trading update. I was really looking forward to it anyway seeing as it's the first one since the big US sports returned in September and would have told us just how much profit they'd made in a few short weeks. I imagine it will now blow the roof off!
Apparent from the get-go day that the TILS sp was finally gonna hold blue then to top it off my shares in WMH have gone through the roof with not one but two takeover bids so far.
Can't wait for everyone here to get their deserved pay off when StemprintER either arrives as shares, is sold off or TILS itself is subject of a bidding war and buyout!!
I'm off out for a beer or six :)
Clearly offer has to be way above market value to be considered when US market is only just being unlocked. What are we talking about here? £5+ per share for a takeover?
11pm GMT is 6pm EST
Yep, I've topped up. Not like I've got 000's to invest but a few hundred quid extra in it won't be dented if it goes down slightly. Probably only would cost the same as a few pints in Ealing :)
Only started investing in shares during lockdown but LGEN was my first purchase in my ISA and until the sp slipped down from the 220 it had been at for weeks was still my largest valued stockholding (avg price is now @187). Definitely no expert but can't fathom the reasons from results, dividends, RNS, etc as to why its slipped.
Any fundamental reason why I shouldn't add a lot more to my investment? Gotta be a bounce soon!
Champagne breakfast!
Added first thing at £1.50 bringing my avg sp down to £1.81. Will see how it goes before moving some things around to buy more in the lead up to demerger.
Wow! This really put a smile on my face this morning. I can hardly wait for the celebration in here on 30th October ;)
Best of it is that Jeffries note at $3.30 came on the back of the CBS Sportsline deal. ESPN is another level up :)
That would really be a money spinner for Gilead. And also for us current PI's.
Checking in to no RNS and no posts! Former to be expected, the latter a complete shocker!
Does that say a lot about the underlying sentiment of most here?
Definitely US market driven as they are seeing 'odds by William Hill Sportsbook' plastered on their CBS Sportsline webpages and TV screens as they look at season previews, week 1 odds, picks, predictions and survivor pools.
This is only the start of things to come. Might be a slight retrace at some point but 11th November is when the market finds out just how much extra income is made in just half an NFL season
Really is! I might even be excited enough to tally up the number of times William Hill branding comes on screen :)
Guessing they purchased now before the NFL season kicks off. From next Thursday night the William Hill branding will be plastered over America's TV screens 20+ times per game thanks to their tie up with CBS Sportsline.
I think the sp is hitting £2 at that point with maximum exposure in the USA then rising towards £3 - the lower part of the price target in the Jeffries note - once the next trading update is released on 11th November and the amount of new ca$h coming into WMH is confirmed.
New to this so not sure on the rules re: RNS when dual-listed and one market closed but geez, wouldn't Monday be a great time to let loose the StemprintER news and screw the Yanks?!. They'd have to follow us Tuesday as even the AIM MM w*nkers couldn't play whack-a-mole on the sp with that news!
All likely but AIM remains the fly in the ointment. Daily whack-a-mole means price jumps re-trace as quickly as they appear.
Who in their right mind tells their girlfriend (AIM) they are being dumped in 5-6 months but still allows them access to their bank account and in possession of a set of keys to their house and car?!! That announcement should have coincided with the 20 day notice period they had to give. We've all seen the results of the woman scorned!!! This BOD needs to seriously give its collective head a wobble!! Talk about naive!!
