RE: Codey - the balance sheet is degrading. That's the issue!25 Nov 2019 10:16
Nickel we are looking at completely different things. Lets look at as written in July RNS to keep it simple. June 2018 net debt $90M. Net debt June 30, 2019 is at $438M with cash flow balance of $362M. Gold price average of sales was 1325 in H1 so H2 earning more money which is 55% of income. Capex spend H1 $248M. Remaining due $402M. The company would pay back all the capex on its H2 earnings its cash flow balance may reduce by what it paid in dividends. The drop is not a balance sheet argument, its not a PE argument either, the pull back is more likely a seasonal low cycle. Incidentally they will publish presentations on 2 December.
