Share Price Vs MCap6 Feb 2021 16:26
I'm sure all of us at some point have had a guess at what the Final Sale Price will be when it's announced. Pretty much every time I've seen this done is has been done in terms of a share price rather than a total company value but that's not how the deal will be agreed. The terms of the deal will agree a total company value then the price per share will be worked out from there. So here's a little conversion table just for kicks.
Current Share Price (6th Feb) 27.9p
Current MCap Value £770m
MCap Vs SP
£1,000m - 36p
£1,500m - 54p
£2,000m - 72p
£2,500m - 91p
£3,000m - 109p
£4,000m - 145p
£5,000m - 181p
£6,000m - 217p
£7,000m - 254p
£8,000m - 290p
£10,000m - 362p
£12,000m - 435p
So when you're pulling together your FSP SP prediction just have a think about how huge those company valuations are. It's very easy to think a jump from the current SP of 27.9p up to 150p is only 122p per share but when you look at the reality of the total value, that's a jump of £2,230,000,000 which is a lot of money in anyone's world.
My initial guess at the FSP was 152p which gives an MCap of about £4.2Bn but that's not through any science, it just gives me a nice round £25k return on my investment. Obviously I'd love to see a full buy out at £10Bn.
