...was passiert.

CPPIB hat jedenfalls die Short-Position weiter ausgebaut...

Es bleibt spannend ...

 

Kepler Cheuvreux belässt Wirecard auf 'Buy' - Ziel 46 Euro
FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Analyser) - Das Analysehaus Kepler Cheuvreux hat die Einstufung für den Zahlungsabwickler Wirecard nach einem Zeitungsbericht zum Wettstreit mit Ingenico um die Übernahme von Worldpay auf "Buy" mit einem Kursziel von 46 Euro belassen. Die von der "Sunday Times" genannten Angebote lägen höher als die ursprünglich für den Börsengang (IPO) von Worldpay zugrunde gelegte Bewertung, schrieb Analyst Sebastien Sztabowicz in einer Studie am Montag. Auch wenn sich das Management noch nicht gegen ein IPO ausgesprochen habe, - ein höherer Kaufpreis jedenfalls würde den Ertragszuwachs für den potenziellen Käufer am Ende mindern. Die Kurse von Wirecard und Ingenico dürften in den nächsten Tagen daher weiter schwanken./tav/ck

gesehen und in dem Zusammnehang wunderte mich die Aussage: "Auch wenn sich das Management noch nicht gegen ein IPO ausgesprochen habe, - ein höherer Kaufpreis jedenfalls würde den Ertragszuwachs für den potenziellen Käufer am Ende mindern."

Wenn sie also die Einstufung bei buy und dem Kursziel belassen, gehen sie wohl davon aus, dass WDI nicht den Zuschlag erhält oder wie soll man das verstehen???

The private equity owners of WorldPay, the British payment services provider, are pressing French rival Ingenico to improve an offer of more than £6bn for the business, ahead of a meeting to decide whether to list or sell their investment.

Bain Capital and Advent International, which teamed up to buy WorldPay from Royal Bank of Scotland in 2010, will meet on Friday to compare bids for the company with plans for a stock market listing, people close to the situation said.

WorldPay has attracted interest from bidders including Ingenico, Germany’s Wirecard and another private equity consortium led by Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman, following heavy investment by Bain and Advent to develop some of the most modern systems in the payments industry.

Ingenico’s all-cash offer was the highest of these, the people said, while the bid from the consortium valued WorldPay at less than £6bn.

If Bain and Advent decide on a listing, WorldPay would embark upon one of the largest initial public offerings of shares in the UK since the financial crisis. A valuation above £6bn would mean the group entered the FTSE 100 with a premium listing.

Once a backwater in RBS, the WorldPay business has expanded under private equity ownership to provide the infrastructure for big ecommerce companies and mobile payment services.
Sir Mike Rake, the former chairman of BT Group and deputy chairman of Barclays, was recruited as the group’s chairman this summer, and the management had earlier signalled a desire to run a public business, people familiar with the situation said.

higher bid from Ingenico
--------------------------------------------------
By Michele Maatouk

Date: Wednesday 16 Sep 2015

(ShareCast News) - The private equity owners of payment services provider Worldpay - Bain Capital and Advent International - are reportedly calling on last-minute effort from French competitor Ingenico to up its offer of more than £6bn in order to avert a planned London flotation.
The Financial Times cited people familiar with the matter as saying that Bain and Advent will meet on Friday to compare bids for the company with plans for a stock market listing.

Over the weekend it was reported that the board were meeting on Sunday evening, having reportedly received offers late last week from Ingenico and Germany's Wirecard, pushing the British company's sale price to £6.7bn.

According to sources spoken to by the Sunday Times, Worldpay was "almost done" with preparing the float and that despite the approaches, its management were fixed on their decision to proceed with the listing.

So far, Worldpay has attracted interest from bidders including Ingenico, Wirecard and another private equity consortium led by Blackstone and Hellman & Friedman.

The FT said Ingenico's all-cash offer was the highest, while the bid from the consortium valued the company at less than £6bn.

If Bain and Advent decide to go ahead with a listing, it would be one of the largest initial public offerings of shares in the UK since the financial crisis and a valuation above £6bn would mean the group entered the FTSE 100 with a premium listing.

from Ingenico to avert flotation
--------------------------------------------------

Owners of British payment processing company would sell to French rival if it increases offer to £6.5bn, say sources

London’s biggest planned flotation of the year, the share sale of Worldpay, is on the verge of being called off.

According to sources, the owners are set to sell the British payment services company to French rival Ingenico if it increases its offer to £6.5bn.

Bain Capital and Advent, the private equity owners of Worldpay, were scheduled to announce details of a £6bn share issue on Monday but postponed the announcement last Friday as Ingenico hovered. The French firm has been told to pay £6.5bn and the company will be theirs.

Sir Mike Rake, the BT chairman, left the board of Barclays, where he was instrumental in the ousting of Antony Jenkins, in order to steer Worldpay to the public markets. This time last year he chaired the roadside assistance group the RAC as it prepared for a flotation but left when the Singapore wealth fund GIC bought a stake instead.

One source said that Rake had played a key role in the negotiations at Worldpay and did not have any personal preference over a bid or a flotation (though he would keep his chairman’s role in the event of a float).

Some of those advising Worldpay on a flotation have cautioned against the current instability of the markets and the possibility of them being further shaken by a rise in US interest rates.

However, they also know that agreeing a deal with Ingenico is not without risk. The French group would more than double its market capitalisation of €6.2bn (£4.5bn) by making a bid that would require shareholder approval and considerable external financing.

Investment bankers were hoping that a £6bn flotation would help kickstart the new issues market in London, which has been relatively quiet since the election and the summer months, also troubled by the turmoil on the China markets.

So far there have been 53 UK issues this year, compared with 93 at the same time last year, according to Dealogic. Some of the large flotations this year have included DFS Furniture in February, which had a valuation of £585m and Autotrader, which was valued at £2.35bn.

Sky News has learnt that Ingenico Group, which is listed on the Euronext stock exchange in Paris, has submitted an offer worth that sum in recent days.

The proposal could persuade Worldpay's owners to abort plans for a stock market listing that would catapult the company into the FTSE-100, with a decision expected to be made in the next week, according to a source close to the Ingenico bid.

The French company's offer also included a proposal for a substantial break fee which would be handed to Worldpay if the takeover was subsequently abandoned, the source added.

Insiders said on Wednesday that Ingenico had lined up BNP Paribas, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley to work alongside HSBC, Natixis and Societe Generale on the financing of its offer.

The revised proposal underlines Ingenico’s determination to merge with Worldpay and create a payments giant worth more than £11bn.

The French company’s cash bid would require the approval of and substantial funding from its existing shareholders in the form of a rights issue, meaning that it would not be endorsed until towards the end of the year.

Worldpay’s shareholders, Advent International and Bain Capital, are discussing the revised Ingenico bid alongside the merits of an initial public offering, with other takeover interest now understood to be on the periphery of the British company's considerations.

If Advent and Bain opt for a public listing, Worldpay would be propelled straight into the FTSE-100 index.

The British payments group is performing strongly, with recently published unaudited results for the first half of this calendar year showing a 13% rise in underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to £182.6m.

Philip Jansen, Worldpay's chief executive, said the results reflected its "ongoing focus on investing in technology and building our business, developing new and innovative products and meeting the evolving needs of our customers to help them prosper".

"Our continued investment in technology and customer service is complemented by a number of new and exciting products launched during 2015. Combined with Worldpay’s global reach and capability this creates significant opportunities to continue to grow our business," he said.

This month, Sir Mike Rake, the City grandee, took over as Worldpay's chairman from John Allan, the new chairman of Tesco.

The looming change of ownership - whether through a sale or flotation - comes roughly five years after Worldpay was sold by the bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in a deal worth approximately £2bn.‎

The payments group has grown at a spectacular rate since then, with Mr Jansen, a former executive with the catering group Sodexo and MyTravel, the tour operator, spearheading the company's growth.

Specialising in the provision of secure payment services, its major corporate customers include Google and Sony.

Comparable listed companies such as Wirecard, which has also shown interest in acquiring Worldpay, and Brazil’s Cielo usually trade at valuations worth between 14 and 20 times their annual profits.

With Worldpay expected to record around £400m of pre-tax profit in 2015, a similar valuation range would attribute a price tag of between £5.6bn and £8bn to the company.

In the UK, Worldpay combines the former Streamline business with Cardsave, YESpay and Zinc, handling well over half of all card transactions.

The company sees further growth opportunities in the ongoing push to open up payment systems, with a new regulator recently assuming oversight of the industry in the UK.

Ingenico could not be reached for comment while Worldpay declined to comment.

process on Friday
__________________________________________________

Worldpay’s private equity owners, Advent International and Bain Capital, will make up their minds on Friday on whether to sell or list the British payments processing company, in the light of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s crucial monetary meeting on Thursday, two sources close to the matter said.

The Fed could decide to raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, a move which would close down the preferred option of listing Worldpay in London.

The alternative is a trade sale, with the business already attracting interest from several bidders, including French payments company Ingenico (INGC.PA).

“If the Fed hikes interest rates by 75 basis points the markets will collapse, so that closes the IPO route,” a source close to one of the bidders said.

“If they don’t, or they only raise by 25 basis points, they’ll probably choose between that and Ingenico.”

Spokesmen at Worldpay, Ingenico, Bain and Advent declined to comment.

Earlier this year Worldpay hired banks to prepare for an initial public offer which could value the business at around 6 billion pounds ($9 billion).

But it could now succumb to takeover approaches if market conditions are not right, a second source said.

Reuters reported in August that Ingenico was vying against a consortium of U.S. funds Blackstone (BX.N) and Hellman & Friedman as well as Germany’s Wirecard (WDIG.DE).

Ingenico, which has a stock market value of 6 billion euros, is seen as the leading bidder while Blackstone’s joint bid with Hellman & Friedman is “materially less”, said one of the sources on Wednesday.

The French firm has offered to buy Worldpay for as much as 6.6 billion pounds, the second source said, while noting that there was still a degree of uncertainty due to the need for a significant financing package.

Wirecard, with a market capitalization of 4.7 billion euros, would want to avoid being dragged into a bidding war, several industry bankers said, since it could struggle to finance a bid without teaming up with a bidding partner.

A spokeswoman at Wirecard declined to comment.

Worldpay was carved out of RBS (RBS.L) in 2010, by which time it was the largest merchant acquirer in Europe, providing card processing services for businesses.

seit Ihr auch dabei?  

..Jahresschlussrallay kommt bestimmt noch hier. ;)  

heute hatten wir in der ersten Handelsstunde zwar Steigerungen aber fast kein Umsatz.
In der zweiten Stunde wurden Aktien mit einem Umsatz von ca, 6 Mio € gehandelt!

Hoffe, dass es so weiter geht und uns nicht wieder heute Abend die FED "einen Strich durch die Rechnung" macht! (und morgen der Hexensabbat...)  

erst mal mit einer teilposi bei 39,8 rausgegangen...
das geht mir zu schnell, denke ich kaufe nochmal günstiger nach die 400 stücke...

rest bleibt liegen falls doch kontinuierlicher anstieg sein sollte :D  

Ich verstehs einfach nicht. Wenn du von was
überzeugt bist wieso immer das ewige hin und her.
Da freut sich nur deine Bank. Auch wenn Wirecard
heuto oder morgen wieder zurückkommt ist dieser
Wert auf Jahre hinweg ein klarer Kauf. In diesem Forum
einfach mitlesen und über die meisten Schreiber einfach
schmunzlen. Da teiben sich so viele Dummschwätzer
rum und glaubt nicht immer was die von sich geben, vor
allem auf Einstandskurse und Stückzahlen.
Trotzdem weiterhin viel Spass!      

 

genau aus diesem Grund habe ich die anderen Stücke ja auch liegen lassen und nur die 400 abgestoßen wie im obigen beitrag geschrieben.

warum?
aus oben genanntem Grund, da ich glaube noch mal günstiger rein zu kommen mit diesem Teil.
bin ich überzeugt von WDI? ganz klar - JA. deswegen bleibt auch ein großteil im depot^^

warum dann verkaufen und eventuell wieder günstiger rein?
ich nenn es mal so - hobby :-))

wenn ich dann 2-3% drunter reinkomme freue ich mich, ansonsten denk ich mir "gut dass meine anderen scheinchen weiterlaufen wie die pferde"

ein bisschen spekulationskapital ist erlaubt - zuviel spekulieren du ich aber auch nicht^^  

ja wohl ein Depot mit Einlagen von mindestens 250.000 Euro haben, wenn 16K so als Spekulationskapital mitlaufen...  

Leerverkäufer zurückkaufen?  4% Plus hatten wir ja schon lange nicht mehr. Die 40 rücken immer näher.

ich sehe das als eine Gegenreaktion zu der Bekanntgabe der Beteiligung an einem Bieterverfahren für Worldpay.

Ein Übernahme von Wordpay hätte nicht ohne einem massiven Kapitalzufluss erfolgen können. Dadurch wären sicherlich die jetzigen Wirecard-Kurse nochmals gefallen.
Jetzt, wo die Entscheidung praktisch gegen Wirecard gefallen ist setzt die Gegenreaktion ein.

Dabei können natürlich auch Leerverkäufer sein...
Dafür ist der Umsatz aber noch nicht hoch genug - werden heute vielleicht die 1 Mio. an Aktien erreichen.
