NEWS: Playboy Said to Be Shopping for a Buyer - GoFuckYourself.com

Iron Fist · 05-22-2009, 07:38 PM

CHICAGO ? Is Playboy officially on the block?

Playboy officials would not confirm nor deny reports Friday to XBIZ that the company has placed a $300 million price tag on the company.

Earlier today, the New York Post reported that the company, which trades for $2.85 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, has been in sales talks since February [source].

If the rumor is true, Playboy (NYSE: PLA) is seeking a premium of more than $200 million given its market cap of around $88 million based on its share price.

or is it

mmcfadden · 05-22-2009, 07:47 PM

wow... prior to october price was around 12-14 steady...

cherrylula · 05-22-2009, 07:47 PM

ouch, painful losses...

Si · 05-22-2009, 07:50 PM

I'd hate to post something like this, but:

Is hugh finally looking for a pension or something?

Doesn't seem right to me, I know the recession and everything has hit quite a few companies but playboy? how can they be doing badly when I can go out and buy nearly a whole house and car made by playboy and a pair of thrilly knickers for my girl with the logo on it?

Doesn't seem right that they may be in trouble to me.

Anyway, take no notice i'm starting to feel the effects of my molson

I think the depressed stock price is a result of the recession, competition from the internet, and Hef's age.

Still, it could be a good buy for a well heeled pimp..

going to be fun when the new boss takes over this board

bluemoney · 05-24-2009, 07:34 AM

I would hate to see Hef give up the bunny.

The financials don't look so good. They are losing over $100m a year and will be bankrupt within a year if things continue the way they are now.

This industry has changed so much. Tough to keep up with the young bloods dominating the net.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 05-24-2009, 10:36 AM

That's not a bad price tag. He must really hate the Internet.

burntfilm · 05-24-2009, 01:14 PM

there's still value there. They haven't managed it properly at all.

NaughtyRob · 05-24-2009, 01:56 PM

The guys that own the Palms should buy it.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 05-24-2009, 01:59 PM

Great idea, they really should. But then, I'm sure they are making a killing in their hotel empire, why get into publishing.

But it could be one of the brothers side hobbies.

I think the hef days are over. I read the mans biography he is a very impressive guy but he was the first to take adult to mainstream and create a lifestyle. When people were watching leave it to beaver so it had a large impact.That cant be recreated.

Did you know Hef has never used a computer? He hates them. I find this surprising being as in the 1970s he was all about cutting edge high tech with electronics.
