RE: Capex 2017 and Dividends.27 Mar 2017 14:25
Not worried by the dividends, they are in 4 components adding up to a little over 10p a share which is approximately 40% of last years profits (RIO planning equivalent of 70%, ok they are financially stronger looking), I think only the first 2.6p is currently a firm commitment, so if the iron price crashes today the rest could be easily stopped. Also I think the current run rate for FXPO is EPS upwards of 50p if iron holds over $80 ... No idea re CAPEX ... it may be discretionary or contingent etc ... I should probably spend a little more time reading the results
