Whitbread's release underlined the improving popularity of Costa Coffee. Total sales at the unit soared 12.5% during the quarter -- a result that was attributed to the success of recent marketing campaigns -- and on an underlying basis revenues climbed 4.3%. And Whitbread is embarking on aggressive expansion to keep sales rising across the business. The company has a pipeline of some 14,000 new Premier Inn rooms in the UK alone. And expansion at Costa Coffee will see between 230 and 250 net new shops, and at least 1,500 Costa Express machines, unveiled worldwide. The City certainly expects Whitbread's long-running growth story to continue, and anticipates a 1% bottom-line rise in the period to February 2017, to be followed by a 6% advance in fiscal 2018. I reckon a consequent P/E ratio of 15.2 times for next year is great value, given Whitbread's exciting growth strategy and roaring success with consumers across the globe.

Talk about whitbread selling off restaurant side are coming out today. Which would send SP flying up. HOLD or BUY inmo if you don't need the money out.

Why did this crash five pounds ? To highly priced for current earnings ? Or were the good earnings already priced in ?

32Red's brand punches above its weight in the UK online casino market. Management has adopted a more aggressive stance since mid-2015, both in terms of marketing and with the highly accretive £8.4m Roxy Palace acquisition. Interims show H116 EBITDA rising to £4.5m (H115: £1.2m) and we initiate with forecast EPS more than doubling in 2016 and growing by over 65% between 2016 and 2018. Yet the 2016e P/E is only 13.5x and our peer group comparison and DCF suggest a value of 193-247p per share, 46-86% above the current share price.

News clearly spreading at last 53 pounds again by oct.

Is this because the they think future profits has already been priced in ? Should I sell? or is it because the PE is so high ? £2.50p target 02/08/2016 – ASOS had its “Neutral” rating reiterated by analysts at Exane BNP Paribas. They now have a GBP 250.00p price target on the stock.

Has trading been cancelled now that the deal is confirmed for 220 plus a dividend ? Does anyone know when our shares get automatically swapped for cash.

If they top 30% holding what does that mean? Hostile takeover practically guaranteed ? as 'joe blogs' share holders and even large will likely except their offer 2.90/3.60 etc etc MM powerless !?

Concensus from brokers seems to be that any buy under £2.50 is a steal. Hinting stein might H takeover at the original IPO PRICE.

Looks like it will be a hostile takeover. Stein already hold a huge amount and I imagine most shareholders will say yes to a genourous offer from stein even if management are not keen. Looking forward to seeing what it is.
