A 50% price increase possibly 70% unplanned for on your main product is a material strategic event. I assume you aren't a business man

No please read my posts correctly or don't bother replying and wasting my time. I was basing on both current and forecast by every analyst report

Check the oil price he based his strategy on vs price now and forecasts. He didn't build that factor in

I'm sure a few on this board work in senior posts in large companies and are very familiar with strategies changing when major events change

Only a loony would do nothing

Sell then?

Please read what the industry experts are saying

Value always come out in.the end

Not worried one bit this Will rise

Based on pre pandemic oil prices and demand forecasts when it was 5.00 how does your logic work?

Jeez!!!! find something worthwhile to. shout about

I just can't see much downside risk here compared to the upsides. 4.00 should come fairly shortly around run up to and after results day

Circumstances have changed on key assumption that's why. Simple really

Your looking at this too simply. If the divi is defined in £ per share then it clearly doesn't. If its defined in capital distributed then yes it does. Your being very semantic though. Look at the macro point I'm making. Increase in profit = increase in share price as the shareholder funds have increased. A massive uplift in price of oil DOES increase the value of a business to its shareholders. I'm somewhat perplexed as an investor you don't understand this

christs sake that was the point I made a few messages back

I'm not sure you really understand business economics

So they just sit on a shed load of cash do they and do nothing with it....come on man get with it. Huge profits increase shareholder value ultimately no matter what they do with the cash, distribute it, pay down debt or do buy backs. Its basic business school stuff big profits = increase in shareholders value

Buy backs do increase the divi and shareholders value. Think about it in the extreme so it makes sense. 1bn p.a free cash distributed to 2 shareholders is alot more value than distributed over 1m shareholders. Now just scale it back a bit. Or he may pay debt down which again increases shareholders value. Or he may distribute it as divi.
Any which way huge increase in cash generated increases shareholders value.

Get it now?

Buy backs do increase the divi and shareholders value

It's the forecasts for oil though that are really exciting for me ranging from 80 to 100+. I've not seen any recent forecast at all that shows it going down from here and I've looked at all the analysts. Of it stays flat for here fantastic upside if it goes up from here then extatic

Err leicester luton Blackburn preston Bolton. Look at where the issues are again

Just hope we keep.lid on mass 100k plus close gatherings festivals race events etc but to stop it going bezerk and we can then mostly crack on with our lives
