Flash note: H115 trading in line; acquisition on track
Optimal has confirmed that trading in H115 was strong and in line with expectations. Depending on the timing of regulatory approvals, the Skrill acquisition is likely to complete at end July/early August. On our illustrative estimates for the combined Optimal/Skrill business, the stock is trading on a FY16e P/E of only 10.7x, at a significant discount to its peer group. We would expect this discount to start to close on completion of the deal and as Optimal moves to a main market listing, and ultimately FTSE 250 inclusion.
