The Royal Mail is not profitable as company, personally I think it will be risky to invest.
The government will hold majority of shares:

the company is not qualify for FTSE 100:

I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, i dont think we are too far off privatisation with the constant price hikes.

I will miss this time, better to invest to funds instead of single company.

Probably good for the short term due to all the hype in the press. Wouldn't be surprised to see strong gains in the first day (or week) followed by a sharp drop (depending on the financials of the business which I haven't bothered looking at).

Nope just wouldn't bother, they are useless and I can't see them being very profitable private Companies are starting to get most of the parcel work too now

I would of loved to have the spare cash to invest, minimum you could put in was 750£ worth and the city got 70% of it. They defiantly under valued the sale and I seen on the news that they have voted to strike. So the tax payer has been short changed and we get no deliveries lol.
Think its unfair the employees can't sell their shares for 3 years owe.

The Royal Mail have a hell of a lot more infrastructure there to work with and turn profitable over it's competitors. As it now has share holders and a market to answer to, hopefully we'll see all this infrastructure being utilized more efficiently in future.
Either that, or it'll get scaled back and either privatized completely by the government (doubtful), or more likely it'll get bought up by one of it's competitors.Clook: Fully Managed UK Based Hosting · CloudFlare Optimised Partner!
