The mention of dividends always seems to cause division.
I haven’t actually expressed an opinion either way on dividends, special or otherwise. In fact I don’t think anyone today has even stated their reason for holding GGP is because they are expecting dividends in the near future. What I posted was “if GGP were to dispose of a non core asset for a reasonable sum I could possibly see a case for a “special dividend”.
I’m sure the major shareholders will have a lot more sway than any of us.
Just say for example Greatland were to dispose of an asset that had been part of the acquisition from Newmont. As a major shareholder I think they may have some thoughts on that situation.
Because I don’t think such a disposal would have much impact on the SP , just my view.
There is as TT has alluded to a difference between a special dividend and a recurring dividend.
I’m not saying any of the above will happen, but about the only thing I am sure of in investing is never say never.
