NETeller looks odds on to keep punters happy

The legal status of internet gambling in the US is cloudy, to say the least. It is explicitly outlawed in many states, others are trying to regulate and tax it, but the Federal government is taking a prohibitionist stance. And yet the numbers of Americans, in common with people across the world, who are punting on sports betting sites or playing internet poker has been growing exponentially.

The traditional banks won't touch their money, though, and NETeller has grown into a significant business (and a stock market hot property) as a result of this opportunity. It operates an e-wallet, ferrying money between the gambler and the betting website and taking on the task of verifying users' identities and checking for credit card fraud. An average of 1,800 people signed up to NETeller last year, and it made 45m from its cut of transactions. Of that, 25m was pre-tax profit, indicating just what a licence to print money this business is. We tipped the stock after its flotation last April at 197p and it had shot up to 640.5p yesterday.

NETeller shares have attracted the attention of short-sellers, inevitably, and it did get one black mark yesterday, having paid more tax than expected in the months before it moved its operations to the Isle of Man tax haven. This is small and historic when you consider that profit is expected to double this year, but nervous investors will want to make sure the company is keeping control of administrative costs.

The opportunities continue to outweigh these risks for investors with a bit of gambling money available. NETeller has just made an acquisition of a payments company in the Far East that will allow it to expand into gambling-mad China, where its expertise in cross-currency transactions puts it ahead of the local banks. Keep buying.

cheers GF.

AND from the FT......................

The three biggest drivers of internet payments are auctions, gambling and porn. While PayPal, the online payments company owned by Ebay, has the first category sewn up, Neteller dominates the second. It is signing up members at an increasing rate - an average 1,800 a day last year rising to 2,700 a day so far in 2005. For a banking sector looking for new ways to acquire customers, this could indeed look attractive and a joint venture is not inconceivable, especially as PayPal and GE Capital have already teamed up to offer consumer credit deals. Despite their strong run so far, the shares still trade at just under 19 times 2005 earnings estimates. Given Neteller's strong growth story, they may still have further to go.

cheers GF.

Nice reading GF - now all we need is a little patience - the punters will do the rest

Baza

Made a nice profit on this one the last time. Am looking forward to making a nice one again. Let the dust settle and we should be heading north again.

Cheers

Thought there would be more interest after all the good updates this morning.

cheeers GF.

Yes GF i was expecting the price to start another run up,any view on this ?? JB..

Patience...

Yes but they have been quiet for a month now JB..

I think were waiting for these presentations to US investors. Lets hope a few funds buy a cart load of stock, sorry make that a shed load, sorry make that an hanger load.

cheers GF.

When are the presentations GF?

Supposed to be after the 5th of April, thats all the news I received from Killik.

Evil as just given out his wednesday update and recognises the NLR results were good but says we knew they were going to be anyway. Says competition is coming along. (doesnt say who it is as usual)ENDS.

I dont think it will take much to get him out of this one now. Hes just relying on B/Board fear and panic. If we get a good day for NLR with big volume and I feel he'l be out.

Even Winnie said he was bullish and Zak Mir also on the results. So its not as if his comrades are fully behind him.

cheers GF.

Thanks. I hope the good news doesn't come to soon, I want to buy some more, but won't have the money till next week.

Thanks GF, nice to see you back on here..

GF

EK says competition is coming along. I see SEA in the frame, what do you think.

Good to see you back. Hope the hols went well, go anywhere nice?

MS

Do we expect good start to the day tomorrow after a good close today with heavy trades at the close of trade today,looks as though the momentum is gathering pace for next upward trend.

Thanks chaps, just a break in Spain. SEA Mickey yes I noticed that moving today, problem is if Ive worked it out right very quickly its still rather expensive on a rolling P/E of around 29.

As for NLR I just dont accept this story line from Evil K, as I have said before hes using fear to panic out holders and using the historic P/E of 40 but the prospective P/E is between 13 and 15.5 for the next years budgeted results, from brokers so far. Add on any Asian deals and we are talking a lot cheaper.

His case is very weak indeed on this one as is his case on MMG. Dont be fooled.

cheers GF.

Im losing patience..

Looks like others are too Jimmy. I dont really think its just this one though. Looks like the whole market is in correction mode. I just hope we dont get those sideway markets of last year.

cheers GF.

Agreed GF
Correction is rife i monitor over 150 stocks
weekly and over the last 5 weeks it has been commonplace
for the majority of the highest risers to fall back
somewhere between 7 - 15% especially on the smaller markets,
even though the indexes do not show this overall.
NETeller is a victim along with a lot of others,
as you rightly say we hope the market doesn't now crab sideways
for to long. However mid term the best growth stocks on reasonable
ratings will still outpreform the market given time.

regards HUSTLER

Agreed Hustler thanks for the above data. Helps you understand whats happening to the market and the small caps in paticular.

cheers GF.
