In my view the worst is behind us, diamond prices set for stability with modest rises going forward. Supply cuts by De Beers and others already in place, one of the biggest diamond mines closing very soon and many more coming to end of life, plus no new mines due to come online. This will lead to prices increasing which will benefit PDL greatly.
Project 2022 under way and going well. The next quarters going forward should show big improvements as now is the season for diamonds, large blue diamond sale pending in November ( between 10 to 20 million big ones $$$ ) to come straight off the debt, plus more to be found. Most likely refinancing of debt underway, possible target for a takeover. Many news flows that could take us to the teens and beyond fast.
Q1 results not as bad as expected, production up and only 1 tender sale which meant inventories rose to sell at higher prices later. Duffy could be wanting a blinding Q2 set of figures including the blue diamond sale. I see the debt levels reducing significantly next year.
