Q1 22 metal prices provided a bonanza for CAML. Q1 23 prices are well down on that period, but the company is still making good money. They were paying out $40+m a year in debt repayments and interest, which they have also got now to play with. Big increase in wage costs, but the local currencies have moved in CAML's favour. They must have circa $90m in the bank today, all adding up to a very strange dividend decision.
