Anyone not buying because they think a Placement is coming are being very foolish. What do you think will happen to the SP if Budd is able to raise an extra 10M which will be used to help manufacture and distribute the AIHL test? The financial position of the company would straight away look a lot better. Also, with some of the money being used to finance the AIHL test, sentiment around the stock will grow. There's a chance the SP won't even drop below the Placing price. Let me give you an example.
I've been invested in AFC Energy since 2018. I bought the shares for 9p and during that time I never saw the SP go above 20p, it was always trading between 5p - 20p. Then in 2020 they signed a memorandum with a big company to supply hydrogen in the future for their electric vehicles. Shortly after, AFC had a Placing which they said would be used to fund the project with the new company. The Placing price was 21p and the company raised 30M. For around four months the SP stayed around the Placing price. Then after four months, after the market had time to digest the new financial position of the company, the SP shot up to a record-breaking 90p which was a first for the company. What helped push the price up, was the 30M placing money sitting in the bank and the growing sentiment around the agreement with the new company.
So my point is a Placing doesn't necessarily mean the SP will go down. To the contrary it can/may actually go up above the placing price and you may not be able to get in any lower. GDR have a much bigger potential than AFC imo, a Placing if done for the right reasons will put GDR in a much better position financially in spite of the dilution. So for anyone holding back because they think a Placing is coming, DYR.
