178,520,585 shares before RI @ £14.68 = £2,620,682,188 market cap
328,910,448 new shares created during RI
Total: 507431033 shares after RI @ £19 = £9,641,189,627 market cap
(btw, at current price of 525p, the market cap is £2,664,012,923, same as it was beofre RI, ehnce why I said it is fair value)
You think a company should be worth 3.69 times what it was just because it reduced it's debt somewhat?
Interest on that debt is STILL 430 MILLION PER YEAR.
You might have got that re-rating if debt had been eliminated, but not when it wipes out a healthy profit of half a billion, EVERY YEAR.
Shareholders have been diluted 64% and you think the shares are worth 3.69 times as much as they are now.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry....
