Institutional investor disconnect15 Mar 2022 08:40
I am a Newbie invested here and understand the fundamentals in relation to MET Coal price (profit), impact of Russian sanctions, and Biden’s Bill to “Re-build” the USA infrastructure, etc... Meaning truly a great opportunity!
I guess there will be a number of similar old mines prime for re-commissioning, and BEN may well be seeking them out. I also invest in Copper, PGM’s etc, and know that there is no political appetite in the USA for new “dirty” mines, so existing mines are a good place to start particularly as they come on-line a lot quicker...
My problem and reason for messaging is simply that ESG pressures on Institutional investors prevent them from investing in this type of share, (and I guess why BEN is listed here on AIM), so the return for the private investor needs to be driven by a combination of SP growth (I read of £2.50 -> £4.50 etc, and agree with the maths), Dividends, and ultimately a JV / M&E...
As a cash cow that BEN is becoming will PI investment in the shares be in sufficient quantities for the SP to reflect FCF and true value say when we are a £1 higher than where we are now ? It almost feels that to achieve say £4.50 we need to be a “target” of a company who again can’t be constrained by ESG commitments.
Does anybody have similar previous experiences of this SP journey (increase) where PI’s are the only driver, particularly when the SP is out of the initial IPO stage ?
