RE: Consolidation – What is the magic number?11 Mar 2023 11:33
Good morning socialist. I really don’t care about the sp or consolidation. It’s the mkt cap that interests me. That Shaun has good reasons to want the shares in issue, lower, is interesting and relevant to me. Some institutions prefer to have a sp between say 50p and £5, some PIs like to own millions of shares. Cos it makes them feel good. Sadly some PIs have an in built hatred of companies that do consolidations. This is because they have owned some dog stocks that are on they way to bankruptcy. If you think that of Ggp, then you shouldn’t own any. If you don’t think that, then you shouldn’t really care from an economic perspective. But investing is often emotional for PIs. Something that I don’t really understand.
So if I had a vote I would do a consolidation that gets the fully diluted number down to 500m, whatever that translates to.
