Stock to Watch: Sportingbet

(Interactive Investor)- Sportingbet (SBT), a leading online sports betting and gaming provider in Europe and Australia, is one such example.

Its shares are listed in the FTSE Small Cap index, although this is quite a substantive company capitalised over £350 million, expected to grow normalised pre-tax profit from £31.4 million in the last financial year to end-July 2010, to over £37 million in the current year and over £45 million in 2011/12. If achieved, then the shares' forward price-earnings multiple is a modest 8.5 times and there is a prospective yield of about 3.4% covered nearly four times by earnings.

Sportingbet also enjoys firm support among City brokers, with Company REFS showing near-unanimous 'buy' advice in June. Read more here…

The Mavericks will open up the NBA season on Tuesday night Nov. 1 against the Chicago Bulls. In a double-header, the Lakers will face the Oklahoma City Thunder following the Mavs and Bulls.
