New holder1 Jul 2025 18:58
As a new holder here (been chipping away in the 12-12.5p range) I think a share buy back would be very well received and would likely create more valve for shareholders via share price increase for less than a special dividend.
POW clearly has a few sellers that is keing it pinned down, a buy back would clear these sellers and put the shares into POW’s treasury, which if they wanted to at a later date, they could then sell these shares back to the market a a much greater price.
Let’s say for instance a special dividend was announced for £2m that would equate to roughly 1.7p per share held in POW.
But if they started to buy back their own shares on market, I would expect a far greater move in the share price than 1.7p per share on a much smaller amount than £2m, it could be trading at 18-20p on maybe £1m worth of shares bought, as remember others will likely see a buy back in progress and will want to jump in for a trade higher.
So from 13p area to 18-20p that could see 5-7p gains just on a buy back far greater than a 1.7p special dividend and highly likely for less than what a special dividend would cost the company.
Secondly, the shares are clearly under valued, the GMET holding alone is almost covering POW’s current market cap, so a share buy back at this price could bear fruits in future if the share price goes on a major run to say 30-40p on a uranium discovery etc the company can then resell those shares bought back to the market and would have made a nice profit on them keeping them funded going forward.
In my opinion it makes so much sense in many ways considering their cash position, gets rid of any sellers that wants out, allows the company to buy their stock at a huge disconnect to true value and rewards shareholders with a far greater increase in share price to what an special dividend would pay, and for likely less £££ than what a special dividend would cost the company.
Let’s see…
