RE: looking for 10p a share?4 Feb 2019 12:48
Feilb- if you are saying the RI has been delay until the sp is higher, what price do you think the RI will occur. If billions of shares are issued then the SP will be depressed already and issuing anymore will just dilute it anymore.
The example you gave of Kier is probably a bad example since their RI share was already £4, so needed a minimum number of shares. Look at Capita their sheer price was in £3s when the announced the right issue and then crashed to around £1.9 when the RI was announced. Today the SP sits Lower than it did when the dilution was announced, but this is purely down to the fact the RI was too heavily discounted and let to an insane number of shares being issued.
It’s the same story here until we know what price has been agreed this week, I would say the dilution is still not fully factored in, so pbody has a point.
