WILLIAM HILL will unveil a recommended £486 million ($754 million) takeover of Sportingbet today after hammering out a retention deal with the management of the online bookmaker's Australian division.

The group, which is bidding jointly with GVC Holdings, had hoped to finalise terms by Tuesday's deadline set by the Takeover Panel but was forced to seek an extension until tomorrow to tie in Michael Sullivan, head of Sportingbet Australia, and his top team

It added that talks are at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that they will be concluded successfully.

Liberum starts GVC Holdings at 'buy'

Wed, 03 August 2016



(ShareCast News) - Liberum initiated coverage of GVC Holdings at 'buy' with a 738p price target, highlighting the company's "winning formula".
The brokerage said GVC is a unique quoted gaming operator in terms of geographic diversity and exposure to growth markets. With only around 10% of its customers in the UK, it is the least exposed of any peer to the risk of increasing duty/regulation in its domestic market, Liberum said.

The international spread of the business also means there are no significant implications to the group from the UK's decision to leave the European Union.

Liberum also pointed out that margins are higher at GVC than the likes of William Hill and Ladbrokes, partly due to exposure to markets which are less competitive.

In addition, it argued that the synergy benefits of Bwin are substantial and said it expects earnings per share to more than double between full-year 2016 and FY18.

"The acquisition of bwin.party has dramatically increased the scale of GVC and considerably broadened the brand portfolio and geographic reach of the business. The enlarged group owns a significant proportion of the underlying IP in both its Sportsbook and gaming platform where there is also the potential to monetise a B2B opportunity."

At 1000 BST, GVC shares were up 2.7% to 681.50p.

GVC Holdings PLC (GVC:LSE) set a new 52-week high during today's trading session when it reached 688.50. Over this period, the share price is up 57.93%.

Special dividend and trading update

Why is the SP being hammered??

IC had a buy out on 3 Nov at 690p but said the shares trade on a toppy 25 times forward earnings.


Shares Nov 3 -Cenkos Securities leaves its 2016 forecasts unchanged, looking for a leap in pre-tax profits from €46.7m to €104.2m, yet notes 'clearly the risk is on the upside given the strong top-line momentum. We have conservatively left our 2017-19E forecasts unchanged reflecting ongoing potential regulatory and taxation headwinds.'



In the background there is an online gaming industry inquiry into unfair practices.


Certainly very low on the shorting list.


I think we are due a bounce but always thought 800p was a fair price .



32red which operates online casino, poker and bingo is well down from its high. Very good interim results end of Sept as well.

Thanks dreamcatcher
I also think these are due a bounce
