Casaspinos - if I borrow £100k from a bank to 100% buy a car from a dealership and offer the car to the bank as collateral then fail to keep up payments to the bank meaning the bank take my car off me to sell
Second hand in order to recoup some of their losses in what way does this effect the dealership I originally bought the car off? I think SAE is, like the dealership, unaffected by this.
The share price is low not because anything is fundamentally wrong with the business but because everyone is anticipating the market being flooded with shares for a while and therefore going cheaper still. If this happened it would be temporary and we would soon see double digits after even without significant news.
You are reporting that they are likely to sell to institutional investors which is a huge positive as it avoids the pain of being drip fed onto the open market (unless the IIs chooses to sell but even then it would be a premium to if they had been dumped).
Personally I love an opportunity to pick up assets below market value and not because their is something inferior with the asset but because there is a distressed seller. This is like buying repossession flats for a property portfolio in my opinion and one day it will seem crazy that we ever were able to buy them this cheap.
Happy to hear an alternative view.
