IMVHO - In short this is being dragged down so as max profits back end.
Both AFF and AUE need to build confidence in the markets now for each of the new companies.
AAAM achieved this previously but as with all company splits, investors can become a little twitchy when a company starts to divide, as it could appear to be removing the 'bad egg' from the batch so to speak.
In this instance I truly believe this is not the case, purely based on the RNS' released to us over the past months/ year and also the market sentiment (£2.80 target) we' need not worry, certainly looking at the long term.
If your portfolio plan is more short to medium, then yes I would agree with you, this is not looking at tit's prime at the moment. However, as HUN mentions ISA, those that are short/ medium investors should perhaps rethink this one and place it into an ISA or SIPP for the Long term?
As mentioned, this is AIMVHO but hope this helps you better understand/ get more comfortable with the current SP and the future!
GL to one and all
