It's a big number. But I suppose that's what William Hill takes in four days during the Cheltenham festival. And football betting, especially from Asia, is growing.
It's a volatile high-roller casino which does not sit easily in such a small quoted company. We believe that it has more value as a 'trophy asset,' or to a group with genuine high-roller international reach.
The reason to hold this stock is the high asset value of the group in a hot property market.
There is a lot of business and balance sheet restructuring to be done that would benefit from being away from the public eye but, once complete, the price is a compact, good quality, highly cash generative company.
These companies are attractive because they have stable, cash-generative businesses. Interest rates are low and private equity has lots of money. They can leverage debt against these cash flows.
William Hill is clearly being pulled up by today's FT story about Ladbrokes.
