Ian Pollard – Bonmarche #BON Rejects Takeover Bid – But Only Asks For Talks
Bonmarche Holdings BON which had seen trading become significantly weaker than expected sine the beginning of March, has rejected a takeover bid from Phillip Day’s Spectre Holdings, on the basis that it undervalues the business and its future prospects. These included a rise in the underlying loss for the year from a possible £4.0m. to between £5.0m. and £6.0m. 2 April, Mr Day, who owns Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group, acquired 26 million Bonmarché shares at 11.445p a share, which brought his stake up to 52.4% and a warning that he expected a “material reduction” in staff. The Bonmarche Board was left with nothing but the expression of a wish to hold discussions, which would be for the benefit of all shareholders, including no doubt, themselves. So far they appear to be unable to find a reason why shareholders would benefit from their continued presence in the governance of the company, especially having regard to its recent continued decline under their stewardship.

Mobile Streams (MOS) – VectorVest views as undervalued following Sept 6 trading update, rates as buy
Mobile Streams Plc (MOS) licenses and distributes mobile content to mobile network operators and media 
companies. Its content portfolio includes games, music, pix, and video for mobile phones. The company retails its mobile content primarily through the mobile Internet in its Ringtones.com and MobileGaming.com superstores, mobile application stores and mobile opera
tor portals.
The company published a trading update on September 6, in regard to operations at its India subsidiary Mobile Streams India Private Limited. MSIP exceeded the important milestone of reaching 50,000 active subscribers, driven by subscription growth enabled by billing connections for the three largest local mobile phone operators. The Company said it expected to add additional billing connectivity to the next three largest network operators in India before the end of the calendar year. This has the potential to increase the addressable audience from the current c.600 million mobile users to around 900 million such users.
The growth at Mobile Streams had been picked up some time ago by UK stock screening company VectorVest. The system uses an Earnings Growth rate (GRT) calculation, which reflects a company’s one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. MOS has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 23.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent
Another VectorVest metric is GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio), which compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. MOS.L has a GPE rating of 1.47. With long-term interest rates currently at 3.79%, the operative GPE ratio for MOS is 0.14, and therefore may be considered to be undervalued.
The chart of MOS.L is shown here. The value of the share is shown by the green line above the price. Sooner or later the price and valuation will coincide. Sometimes this occurs in a linear fashion but in smaller counters the move tends to be quick, explosive and news driven. The sudden jump in price was preceded and forecast by a jump in earnings growth rate (purple line in the window below price) from zero to an excellent 23% in the first three months of this year.
Since June 2016 the share has been sitting on support at 4p. The “tails” or “wicks” on the candles at that level are indicative of accumulation by insiders and those traders that have done their research. A Unisearch for undervalued shares that are showing a high rate of change in earnings growth will uncover many trading opportunities, easily, with a few mouse clicks.
In summary, MOS.L is undervalued compared to its Price of 9.5p per share, and despite offering somewhat below average safety, is currently rated a Buy.
