RE: THINK THIS WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG13 Dec 2020 11:06
I don't mean to step on anyones toes here but this is simply my opinion.
The p/e and therefore the share price is based on the forward value of the stock, and in this case roughly 6x mark. By diluting the stock we essentially push the P/E to around 10x as earnings per share reduce significantly.
Now normally I would be all for equity raises for capital provided the cash raised is used to develop the business to increase earnings and justify the new forward p/e.
However, in this case majority of the cash is used to write down debt with a small portion for platform development which is the more important part that drives earnings.
Therefore, I can only see this as an equity raid, as most of the money raised is not used to benefit the earnings in the long term but to serve short term debt.
