Most of their debt is from bonds used to originate new loans. That's their whole business haha. Not only that they are commanding high interest rates from customers who they lend to. Regarding funding, this is minor compared to their income statement, It's just their capital is deployed. It'll be hilarious when tomorrow a rights issue isn't mentioned. One thing to notice is most of the shares are owned by institutional investors. Today we have rumours of a 500m right issue which is close to the current market cap, yet the stock has fallen only 12%, quite frankly this indicates it's retail investors who ate having a spazz. You also probably noticed some very large purchases being made regularly, Neil woodford bought last dip and I imagine he is also consolidating again.
