RE: Cash/Debt position in prior years27 Jul 2022 13:23
The cash pile would be included in net assets. And would take into account all their liabilities of course.
They have £500million of cash or cash equivalents
£500million in investments in other companies. (No idea what they are.)
Over £300 million in equipment etc.
£1.5billion in intangible assets. (Who knows if those are valued correctly.)
Even if we remove the intangible assets out of the equation net assets are still £700million. So at current price you're only paying £220 million for the future income from the business. (£920 million market cap not £820, my mistake for just googling it instead of calculating myself or going off what LSE states.)
So *IF* the business does well in the future this is obviously a bargain price. But I think that's obvious to anyone at this point without even looking at assets. No one should be selling at this price anyway, just because they're scared it could go down more.
