new price target Canaccord Gen keeps ZPLA as hold but raises price target from £2.5 to £3.30.
Re: on the market news I never look there - only zoopla and mouseprices for current values and zoopla and right move for rentals/salesLooks like a very good acquisition today and a good use for cash earning zilch in the bank. I am surprised with the statement regarding dividends and increased profit to be booked off the back of the acquisition this was taken so lightly.Perhaps we'll see value being added to the SP over the coming weeks however today's reaction have been taken rather 'neutral'
on the market news apparently things not going too well at the competitor portal OTM hundreds of disgruntled estates agents wanting to leave in dispute over lower level of fees paid by newbies to the site .source FT

Re: Got a signal to go long at 208ish So the trade has entered the target zone and it was spot on See post of the detail on the day ( here below ) Not bad yet nobody seems to have been reading this . Oh well .
Got a signal to go long at 208ish Have not entered only because its a wedge break out and am more interested in Triangle breakout or trend following . But if anyone has a TA view here I'd be interested as the risk return my system gave me was pretty decent indeed . A rough idea is stop loss at 202 ( lose around 7p ) target profit area 235-255 7p loss for 25-45p win . Not a bad RR . Any thoughts out there ?

ZPLA, Outperforms Rival............... Foxtons outdone by canny ZooplaHarriet Mann | Thu, 22nd October 2015 - 154Share thisFoxtons outdone by canny ZooplaWith buyers put off by high house prices and stamp duty charges, the number of property transactions in central London is at historical lows. With a massive footprint in London and Surrey, that's shaken the foundations at estate agent Foxtons (FOXT) during the third quarter. Online estate agent Zoopla (ZPLA), meanwhile, is thriving, thanks in part to its canny acquisition of comparison website uSwitch, which is doing even better than expected.Triggering polar market reactions, Foxtons shares crashed 7% to 207p on Thursday, a six-month low, as investors uncomfortable with the London exposure shifted their cash elsewhere. Over at Zoopla, traders chased the shares up 6% to 247p, a seven-week high, driven by a pledge that it will meet 2016 expectations. Both sets of shares have traded a similar trend this year, but have been inversely correlated since the start of September (see chart).Foxtons had expected activity to increase after the general election, and it has. But it still hasn't been good enough in the challenging London residential market. Weak comparatives made it easier to beat last year's performance, too. Property sales commissions rose 12.8% to £18.5 million in the three months ended 30 September, lifting revenue by 8.8% to £43.5 million. Sales from mortgage broking were up nearly half to £2.3 million. New let volumes were lower than expected, as the shift in the lettings market continues to favour renewals. Up 3.3%, residential lettings rose to £22.6 million in the period.Zoopla hasn't been without its challenges, either, and the property portal will admit it dropped the ball momentarily with the arrival of OnTheMarket.com. But its total agency customers are continuing to return, with 12,701 on the books. The number of new homes customers has reached 2,706, with 737 overseas members. These figures were a touch light, but definitely in the right direction."Pleased" with its performance over the last 12 months, Zoopla reckons full-year revenue will rise by a third to £107 million, with adjusted cash profit up by a fifth to £48 million. These upbeat forecasts are underpinned by the firm's decision to diversify its offering with its uSwitch acquisition, which has outperformed expectations, while its portal division was in line.Foxtons has been broadening its focus, too, expanding into outer London. The ribbon was cut on seven new branches in the period, with the new Croydon site up and running. Although subdued activity has held back the third-quarter, broker Numis reckons Foxtons is poised to benefit from any recovery."The London market has continued to operate at c.60% of long run transaction volumes, which has constrained the growth in the business. However, this does mean that significant reversionary potential exists and in our view Foxtons is well placed to take advantage of this given its high stock levels and its continued branch expansion outside of Central London, where market conditions are currently stronger," says analyst Chris Millington.He's reduced his 2015 cash profit forecasts by 2% to £47 million, and his EPS from 12.2p to 11.9p. He is now confident enough to introduce his first 2016 forecasts, pencilling in £52 million profit and 13.3p EPS."Despite this reduction in estimates we think the group is making good progress against a challenging backdrop," said Millington, who still reckons the shares are worth buying. After Numis's downgrades, Foxtons is trading on a price/earnings (PE) multiple of 17 times, with a prospective dividend yield of 5.9%.Ahead of its full-year results on 2 December, management is "comfortable" it can deliver on market expectations for 2016. Numis expects sales of £172.2 million, pre-tax profit of £65 million and 12.4p EPS. While the broker rates the shares 'add', Investec isn't so sure, suggesting that a forward
