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

one year, to go before £ 7=80 seen again not that long for a investment sell &
miss a takeover? from playtech cash pile. chart watchers say join the bottoms on
a 5year all line up. BB s/p 622 11.11.16

Time to BUY

Trading update and increase in special dividend
GVC Holdings PLC (LSE:GVC), the multinational sports betting and gaming group, is pleased to announce that the strong trading performance previously reported has continued through the fourth quarter. As a consequence the Board now expects pro forma1 NGR for the year to 31 December 2016 and adjusted/clean EBITDA2 to be at the upper end of market expectations3. In addition, the positive momentum across the business combined with strong cash generation gives the Board the confidence to announce a 49% increase in the proposed special dividend, previously announced on 3 November 2016, to euro 14.9c per share (settled in sterling and fixed at 12.5p per share).
Trading
All data refers to the fourth quarter trading period up to 12 December 2016 and is pro forma.
·      Group daily NGR up 12% (+14% constant currency) against the corresponding period in 2015
·      Sports daily NGR +19% (+19% constant currency)
·      Gaming/other daily NGR +8% (+11% constant currency)
The growing momentum in Q4 is pleasing given the tough comparatives, particularly December, which in 2015 was the Group's strongest trading month.
Special dividend
The continued positive momentum in the business and strong cash performance gives the Board the confidence to increase the proposed special dividend, announced on 3 November 2016, from euro 10c (c8.4p) to euro 14.9c - an increase of 49%, with the dividend payment settled in sterling and fixed at 12.5p per share. The dividend timetable is as follows:
Ex-dividend date:           5 January 2017
Record date:                  6 January 2017
Payment date:               14 February 2017
Kenneth Alexander, CEO, said:
"Momentum across the Group has continued to build throughout the year and is a reflection of the hard work of our employees, quality of our technology and strength of our brands. The integration of bwin.party is proceeding positively and ahead of our original expectations. We continue to look forward to 2017 with confidence and expect to achieve further significant progress."

IC today - The house keeps winning over at online gambling company GVC (GVC) whose strong performance since its acquisition of Bwin Party means net gaming revenue and cash profits will be at the upper end of market expectations. Not only that, but the real trump card comes with a 49 per cent increase in its recently announced special dividend. It had promised a 10c per share special payout but this has now been cranked up to 14.9c, which management said was fixed at 12.5p a share. Buy.

GVC back to a income share? looking good. Why the fall after such a deserved rise? Is this due to a takeover rumour?

More good news. kalixa sold for 29million
.

Reverse takeover of Ladbrokes rumour. Is this the reason for share price stalling a little?

Edison - Valuation: 2017 EV/EBITDA still only 9.6x
GVC’s shares bounced a little on last week’s trading update and dividend news (Edison update, 15 December) but the 2017e EV/EBITDA is still only 9.6x, which we believe is excellent value given GVC’s strong growth and dividend prospects.
