RE: Huge Placing Overhang at 175P22 Jan 2021 15:48
Lorenzo - Financiers are not investors, mostly they look to get in, help company with short term funding arrangements and get out when the SP benefits from the security that brings to the business, a few percent here or there is sufficient for them, means big in terms of Β£ value because of size their investing and then they move on.
Usually they aim to do this flip within a few weeks but problem here was vacc news came out which hammered the price so all these placees have been stuck for the past 4 months so now will be even more eager to get out as they were never in for the long haul and dont want to take the risk of bad resutls.
When it comes to Pharma trials NOTHING is guaranteed, a sloid P2 result can still lead to a bad P3 result and for company like this it will decimate the SP when that happens - these financiers did not get to where they are by taking risks like that
