If POW sold GMET now they have taken a circa £2mil initial investment and achieved the following:
1st Tranche of GMET shares = £9,225,084
2nd Tranche of GMET shares (53p mid price) = £13,214,406
PROCEEDS FROM GMET SHARES = £22,439,490
PROFIT FROM GMET INVESTMENT = £20,439,490
So yes, let's all sack the CEO who came in, got GMET listed and created a £20mil+ investment profit from that venture just because the SP hasn't moved!
I would sell GMET today in a heartbeat. POW then have approx. £20mil in the bank which is excessive levels of working capital. I would leave £10mil for future working capital purposes and use £10mil for an aggressive share buyback to put the POW float into solid hands whilst the stock is so undervalued and you can take more stock out at such a cheap price.
£10,000,000 share buyback at 18p a share (circa 50% premium to the current SP) buys back around 55.5 million shares. I doubt there would be a full uptake on that, but it would allow every single POW holder who has fallen out with POW the much needed liquidity to clear off the register and 18p becomes the new base as the only holders left are those that have rejected 18p and feel the company is worth a whole lot more.
If fully taken up, the current 115.5mil share float drops to around 60mil and all the remaining "POW believers" also get a much bigger % of the POW pie with £10mil in the bank still for future working capital commitments.
A no brainer if you ask me but much easier said than done to pull off but I'm also not fully sure of the share buyback rules/limits etc.
