Thanks a billion! Purplebricks’ valuation reaches an all-time high as enthusiastic investors pile in

Purplebricks’ share price shot up at one stage on Friday to reach a new all-time high of 378p, which meant its market capitalisation at one time topped £1bn.

But the share price then retreated and finished the day almost unchanged at 350p – valuing the firm at £947m.

Meanwhile, an analyst has suggested that Purplebricks’ shares could be undervalued, using several methods of scoring that investors typically use:

Countrywide shares fell slightly to 183p on Friday. A year ago, on May 31, they were priced at 375p. On Friday, its market capitalisation stood at some £435m.

While Countrywide is a long way short of Purplebricks in terms of market valuation, Purplebricks has even further to go should it aspire to catch up with Rightmove, with a valuation of £3.92bn.

On Friday Rightmove announced the appointment of easyJet’s chief financial officer Andrew Findlay as a non-executive director. Shares in Rightmove tiptoed up very slightly on Friday, to stand at 4,2239p.

    This a is great news for share growth investors, not so great for income reliant investors; the yield (if there were any)  is now  only 26% of what it would be  if the price was £1. That sort of makes the promise to deliver huge profits that much harder.

      And that is all PB are about. Reliant on income investors supporting the fat cats which includes the stock brokers, while they get nothing. This is a prime story for someone like Panorama to get their teeth into, then everyone could see the real animal.

        oh dear someone doesn’t like the idea that income investors get nothing and no-one should be looking into what is really going on, let alone make it public. Now who could that be, answers on a postage stamp.

    Shush… don’t tell anyone but why do you think PB has a brexit strategy to take on the 6% American market?
