RE: Growth company trading at a P/E of 312 Dec 2023 21:20
Most of investors see LSE reports which shows P/E = 6.0. However, in my opinion main stoppage for SP comes from single dividend payment per year. Just realize what would be SP drop on payment day if PAF paid off 100% of profit (2.5p) instead of 29% (0.76p) this year. Next year it will be really challenging event for dividends if price does not catch earnings keeping P/E around 3. Quarterly payment might double the SP just by attracting new volumes/investors leaving on dividends. In any case, I would not worry while POG exceeds 1650$/oz.
