I agree with your point, and just using very crude maths…
Can BC afford dividends ?
1m tons production (1 year say March 22-23) of Met coal @ say $250 / ton => $250,000,000.
Assuming EBITDA of 20% (I can’t imagine Mr Iqbal MBU being invested at any less) => $50,000,000 or c£40,000,000
Remember Mr Iqbal was banging on about recent improvements, and efficiencies improving the bottom line (EBITDA).
Total shares 375m at 10p dividend a share => £37,500,000 so affordable at the low EBITDA assumption.
What could the SP value be when “referencing” dividends ?
If you bought £10,000 of shares 24-48 hours ago at say 25p => 40,000 shares.
10p dividend per share => £4,000 an ROI of 40%...
Assuming investors move in after WH Irelands January 23 brokers note, and March 23 accounts being released.
10% would seem to be a realistic ROI on AIM propelling a SP of 25p x 4 to c£1.
If not then an ROI of 40% is also a great place to be.
A win win in my book – March 2023-24 is going to be really interesting.
I’m in with 600,000 shares at a running 40p average.
Obviously, all crude maths, and my own opinion DYOR.
