Possible trend emerging that UK investors will start to look at the most shorted stocks on our markets. Obviously we haven’t got the extreme % of short positions in the UK markets like GameStop which was over 100%, however PFC has been slowly squeezed for years and the share price depressed over 90% and sitting at all time lows. Good sign to see Blackrock reducing and expect to see Rye Bay pulling back prior to results at the end of February.
Edmond Jackson draws a good comparison between PFC and WG which have similar order books and PFC with significantly less debt, yet WG has a valuation of x5 that of PFC.
The RNS last week was an excuse for the shorts to squeeze the lemon even harder. There was nothing new in the statement to warrant a 40% drop. The potential of any significant fine is priced in here and has been for sometime. A fine considered to be ‘light’ by the markets or no further action would mark the beginning of a major rerate.
