I got into Cardpoint at 1.11, they are now mid 40's.
Is it time to take the profit or are they going higher in the next two months??

any views?

THANKS CAPA FOR THS UPDATE, GOOD TO SEE POSITIVE NEWS ABOUT CARDPOINT AMONGST ALL THE ILL VIBES ABOUT ATM`S CHARGING ETC....

Through te 120 resistance line. 135p Here we come.. Interesting to see the effects of XMAS on takings.

Good rise again today, 1.40 must be on the cards soon imo

capa

Could be. May Stumble at 135p

Gleaned from Techinvest to-day,

Beeson Gregory's estimate EPS 12.2p for this year and 17.2p for following year.

this would suggest on a PE of 12 (not unreasonable for a rapid growth company) of 206p + on PE 15 258p.
It is also one of Techinvest Tips for 2005

Fred, Numis eps for 2005 is 13.1p and I have always reckoned on eps for 2006 of 17p, so wouldn't argue with Beeson Gregorys estimates.

The difficulty is what rating should Cardpoint attract ? A multiple of 12 as you say is undemanding and reasonable, more than banks and less than other high growth companies.

Quite a way for this share to go yet imo

Excellent trading statement out today

Going well this cash,obviously a moneytree,goodluck to all holders.

Had a big dabble in these this morning looking very good after that trading update, numis have a short term target of 175p, well worth buying in my opinion.

cheers GF.

I have.

175p sounds nice.

BUY BUY BUY.

It looks good. If it breaks 140p chocks away. Good results.

Must admit it is a blue day all around, except EPO.

'I am very encouraged by our strong trading performance over the first three months.
