Lol pumpy, is that a serious comment or are you pulling people's chain?
You don't buy a company because it's got an attractive value in its shares in circulation lol...
If the market value HEMO at 20 million, they value it at 20 million. So if for example HEMO still only had 400 million shares in issue it would now be trading at 5p. Hence why existing investors dislike placings as while it brings in much needed cash, those extra shares dilute the value of each price per share for the equivalent mcap.
Also when you 'say less shares;less volatility' that's not the case either. Think of it as supply and demand. If, for example, you have less shares available be it through a low free float, low trade volume etc, but demand to buy (or sell) is high, then the share price is more volatile. The lower the liquidity the higher the volatility, as MMs have to push the price further both ways to make the market.
If I had one banana in circulation; and demand for bananas was high I would have to increase the price of the banana significantly to get the banana owner to want to sell it. Compared to if I had 200 bananas available but the same demand. The price volatility is greater with less circulation.
