RE: Poly Russia - a way forward 2.5 Jun 2023 10:57
This geo poltical situation has really F-d it for the company and anything Russia linked not just POLY.
BSR why do you expect fair value for POLY R when not one asset sale regardless of industry has been sold for fair value?
Based on every sale of an asset not just mining, they have been sold far below real value. Just a few names - Contential, Michelin, Renault, VW, Societe generale, BASF, Shell ($6b under value sold), Mcdonalds, and Schneider - all left for peanuts for what the asset's real value.
Kinross Mine initially agreed $680m for the mines which was already 5 times less than its real value and weeks later it was halved again to $340m. At the time of Kinross sale, sanctions were considerably less.
No foreign entities are investing in Russia, including BRICS. The only buyers will be the Russian predators and they will take it over for next to nothing, just like they've done with every other asset. Keep in mind there is over $2b in debt to the Russian entity, so a special dividend will never ever happen. The sale price will cover a fraction of the debt.
