RE: NSF value - WHY SO CHEAP??19 May 2021 14:05
**reminder**
*updated* Today NSF mcap is ONLY GBP 19m = 6p = Perfect takeover target.
Cash £78m per last update
Unused £200m credit line facility
In August 2015, NSF acquired "Loans at Home" for £82.5m.
In December 2015, NSF acquired Everyday Loans for £235m.
In 2017 NSF acquired George Banco for £53.5 million.
In 2019 main shareholder Alchemy was pushing for the sale of "Loans at Home".
In 2020 company say that they want to strenghten the capital. Alchemy is supportive.
in 2021 company confirms the fundraising is going to happen after the FY results. Ordinary share is 5p so in case of rights issue we should see no less than 5p offer.
BUT: Events to come in Q2
1) FCA redress to be confirmed - BoD calculated redress amount £15.8 million as per FCA guidance - confirmed amount should lift the share price
2) FY results - loss for 2020, BUT in October Group operations were profitable. First time since 2019, before that Provident's ill-takeover approach - mcap is low and already is pricing in all the past losses - share price should to up
3) Fundraising (should see no less than 5p) / maybe combined with a sale of "Loans at Home" as Alchemy wanted it to happen?
