I think theres a lot of people who are fully aware of the point you made & are lining up to take positions - especially those talking about 55p levels etc. Lol
Its also obvious many dont know that much about the company
I dont know what the price will do very short term although am aware of the potential for a strong rise or fall due to the relatively low number of shares in issue. Thats part of what contributed to the extent of todays drop despite uncertainties already associated with the profits this year - thats why we had the major drop from circa 300p previously.
Fundamentally the business is sound with a very strong, expanding order book. The main issues are associated with the fixed contracts on the windfarm rigs as well as the defered (to next year) profit from the other delayed contract mentioned in todays RNS.
Steps are being taken to address that weakness in the company, independent of its other more profitable operations. The companys also able to fund existing contracts & service debt.
Those vocal in knocking the company will also be ready to dive in en masse realising the ability of the SP to move up strongly short term & longer term back towards its previous levels.
A clearing out of management before then, an addressing of the fixed price contract process & an expanding order book in a fast growth sector
