RE: Ride up a future PE of <2 to £2+ for starters10 Apr 2025 12:18
Well I would think jam in summer 2027.
Because:-
To pay a dividend again (which would make the share investable for some funds)there has to be certain conditions met.
1. Leverage (excl Cruise) has to be 3.0 or less. Current 4.7, down 0.7 last year, 2 more years and maybe a little increase in EBITDA and youre there in 2027, lets say April 27 with results
2. Dividends are prohibited until the deferred Cruise payments are completed which was agreed as 5 years from March 22 ie March 2027.
3. The Directors still have that big bonus based on a £6 share price-the term of that was 5 years from July 22, so expiry(?) July 27. PLC Directors love a bit of cabbage so I think that will get hit.
So 4 and bit bags in just over 2 years? I can wait as long as the price starts to improve, but it does rather seem that there's a seller so until that clears it isn't gonna.
Anyone have a view on the above?
