'' what you seem to have a lot of difficulty with, is you don't seem to be able to accept that other people may have a different opinion to your own ''
Am opinion is completely different from complete nonsense being posted - the people posting such nonsense should be grateful when someone points out that they have posted nonsense .
Whether Vodafone would be a good investment or not is an opinion.
Implying that the market would fully value cash in the market capitalisation is pure nonsense - as I have pointed out Vodafone have 10 Billion + cash already , so along with sale proceeds that adds up to 22 Billion. Vodafone minus the cash would not be valued at Zero.
''I know you are new to this board''
see what i mean - nonsense.
You will find that I was on this board before you and quite possibly have been invested a lot longer
''do us a favour and and try and accept others may have opinions ''
I shall have to repeat - an opinion is not the same as posting inaccurate nonsense
''If the business has 12 billion in cash and is valued at 22 billion, what value do you believe that the market is placing on the business minus the cash?''
what is it you do not understand about a 'discount' ?
Vodafone market cap is at a huge discount to net assets of 63 Billion Euro.
12 Billion of those net assets of 63 Billion will be REINVESTED .
4 Billion of that 63 Billion net assets is being invested in Vodafone shares, which at the current levels would increase earning per share by 18%.
Spanish and Italians assets in 2023 made a LOSS of 432 Million Euro .
The current market cap of 22 Billion is not split £12 Billion for loss making assets and
10 Billion for the assets that create ALL the profits
''If the business has 12 billion in cash and is valued at 22 billion, what value do you believe that the market is placing on the business minus the cash?''
what is it you do not understand about a 'discount' ?
Vodafone market cap is at a huge discount to net assets of 63 Billion Euro.
12 Billion of those net assets of 63 B is being reinvested .
4 Billion of that 63 Billion net assets is being invested in Vodafone shares, which at the current levels would increase earning per share by 18%.
You think that excluding Italy and Spain, with sale proceeds INVESTED in assets at a large discount would mean that all the rest of Vodafone that makes ALL the profits would be valued by the market at under 10 Billion Euro with the business having net assets many times greater. Absolute nonsense. You should have remained silent as per the first 9 years
4 Billion invested at current prices would boost earnings per share by about 18%
Monies are being raised from non performing assets, and not from the sale of assets making the profits for Vodafone - a big difference.
''Della Valle has acted decisively in identifying and resolving the issues surrounding Vodafone's under performing businesses in Italy, Spain and the UK.''
''the sale to Swisscom marks a full exit from Italy, a market where, a spokesperson from Vodafone said, it was "not possible" to get returns on capital''
