Moneysupermarket.com (MONY)

Had these on my watch list when they were tipped in a newspaper a couple of months ago at about 1.20.

Todays fall looks a bit overdone so I have bought a few at 57p

Good luck with that! They are off my radar for the moment until they get their Google/algorithms sorted out. I note Canaccord have a TP of 113p but only say HOLD. I'm not sure if that is a broker note typo error , but maybe they think the divi is worth having even though the sp would drop 35%.

Yes it looks like it :-

Numis Sell 179.80 150.00 150.00 Reiterates

Help.........What is their problem with Google? Could you please explain?

HARRYCAT - 13 Aug 2013 20:23 - 56 of 106

Glad I stayed out. More by luck than judgement though as was distracted by other stocks!

JRM - As I understand it and to keep it very simple, in the past if you were to enter 'Insurance comparison sites' into the Google search engine, Moneysupermarket would have automatically appeared within the first few entries. This is crucial because most people generally use the first one or two options available on page one. Due to a change in the way Google searches and displays the options, Moneysupermarket slipped down the page and therefore received many fewer hits on it's website. Once MONY realised the problem they then had to modify their website, but this all took time and lost them visitors and revenue.

Analysts at Westhouse Securities have upgraded their recommendation on price comparison site operator Moneysupermarket.com to "buy" from "neutral" despite the ongoing challenges around optimising Google's natural search algorithms and the headwinds faced in Money vertical. The broker believes the recent interims highlight the company's strong market position and its clear ability to deliver on the cash front and views the recent sharp share price decline as presenting an attractive entry point. The shares have fallen by 21 per cent in the past month and are down by 26 per cent in the last three months. The City broker has cut its price target to 195 pence per share (from 210 pence) after lowering its 2013 earnings per share forecasts by 3.7 per cent to reflect the challenges in Insurance and Money.
JP Morgan Cazenove downgraded its recommendation on Moneysupermarket to "neutral" from "overweight", on 12 August, citing the recent decline in revenue growth and lack of clarity over the near-term outlook as the main reasons for its change of stance.

Shortie - 13 Sep 2013 10:21 - 58 of 106

Showing over a 10% yield currently, 25% fall from 12 month high these now have my attention.

david lucas - 21 Oct 2013 22:23 - 59 of 106

Got in these last week at 147 as it was clear that there was good support with a double bottom and a rising RSI. And they throw off lots of cash!!
Finished today at 159.70
Resistance at 180 which is my target

Stan - 22 Oct 2013 06:49 - 60 of 106

Good yield from this company, but sp seems to have hit the buffers atm.

Moneysupermarket.com said Q3 trading was in line with its board's expectations, with group revenues and ebitda up 5% and 26% respectively.

It had made a "very strong start" to Q4 with revenues more than 25% ahead, year on year, driven by energy switching since mid-October.

The company said full-year ebitda was now expected to be mid single-digit percentage ahead of current analyst consensus. On Nov. 5, Bloomberg reported consensus analyst forecast for adjusted ebitda was £78.4m for the year to Dec. 31.

Separately, Moneysupermarket.com said Matthew Price was succeeding Paul Doughty as chief financial officer. He would be appointed an executive director in the first quarter of 2014.

Analysts at Canaccord Genuity have upgraded their recommendation on price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com (LON:MONY) to "buy" from "hold" after the company published a better-than-expected set of third-quarter numbers, today. The broker said: "Momentum has picked up going into Q4 [fourth quarter], with revenues up by more than 25% (despite having tougher comparables, given the FY13 Q3 acquisition of MoneySavingExpert). The key drivers have been strong growth in Home Services, as a result of Energy switching."
Meanwhile, Numis stated that it would be the natural thing for it to upgrade to "hold" but, instead, has placed its "sell" rating under review until it has had more time to digest today's numbers and see how things pan out in the markets.

Moneysupermarket.com has welcomed the Competition Commission's provisional findings on motor insurance and its aim to prohibit the use of 'wide' most favoured nation clauses in contracts.

MoneySupermarket says it has worked very closely with the Competition Commission and welcomes its proposals to prohibit these clauses in contracts between price comparison websites and motor insurers which prevent an insurer offering a lower premium through another price comparison website.

MoneySupermarket says it does not have these 'wide' most favoured nation clauses in its contracts with motor insurers and believes that such clauses stifle innovation, reduce competition and can result in higher motor insurance premiums for consumers.

Chief executive Peter Plumb said: ""Our overriding strategy is to get drivers cheaper prices for the same cover at MoneySupermarket, than on any other price comparison website. As the only major independent price comparison website in the UK we've been working with insurers to deliver this to our customers.

"However some price comparison website competitors have tried to stop us by using clauses that force price parity across all price comparison websites and therefore prevent an insurer offering a lower premium through us.

"We are delighted that the Competition Commission is proposing to stop this practice by some of our competitors. This is good news as it will allow us to offer better prices for the same cover to even more customers.
