ANALYST VIEWS: IS WILLIAM HILL IN LINE FOR A BIG WIN?
IVOR JONES | NUMIS
The share price has continued to be weak and William Hill has fallen to a level where we believe it is right to pick up shares for the medium-term. We are changing our recommendation to ‘add’ from ‘hold’.

William Hill’s performance is impressive as its 26 per cent group net revenue increase compares with eight per cent at Ladbrokes. Management is being cautious on the expectations given the larger consumer concerns.
