NWT's last placing was over seven and a half years ago.
And even that was a placing of pre-existing shares, not new shares.
And moreover, at a 'old' price of 2.6p/share (in 2015), which equates to a 'new' price 130p/share consolidation-adjusted.
This highlights how NWT is a business of real quality and substance, not just one of the numerous AIM penny share 'rubbish' companies reliant on 'greater fool' funding to keep them going ... until such time as the money dries up.
NWT is a company that you would expect other business to be seriously interested in buying at greater than its current s.p.
Whereas with some other AIM shares, businesses might rather prefer to pay NOT to own them, as they are just liabilities.
The more times that elapses, the more likelihood I think that NWT are engaged in takeover talks (i.e takeover of NWT).
This I should stress is pure speculation on my part though, & I may be completely wrong.
Either way, we should soon find out.
As regards a takeover value for NWT, I would think that somewhere in the range of 50p to 100p / share would be most likely.
I.e. at least double its current 23.5p, and possibly treble or quadruple.
