How big is Texas?8 Mar 2021 09:29
Over the weekend, I was trying to explain just how huge the Texas plant will be. Anyone who is familiar with the City of London will know that it is referred to as "The Square Mile". Our Texas site is half that. It would take about 45 minutes to walk round the perimeter!
A year ago, we had an MCAP of barely £10 million and now we are pushing £1 billion. This has been achieved by seriously clever management and partnerships for continued future growth all paid for by minor share dilutions rather than major cash hits. Even taking into account the warrants and options issued to seed investors and staff, Argo have increased shares in issue by roughly 25% since day one, while the MCAP has increased by almost 9,000%
In this scenario, anyone who does not understand the difference between "investing for future expansion" and "dilution" should probably invest their cash in a building society account rather than the best investment opportunity I have seen in my 40+ years in this business.
Good luck Argonauts.
