RE: Major share price rerate on even 10p dividend announcement17 May 2021 17:01
I agree with the part about how there may well be a royalty payment ongoing rather than simply a full cash payout.
This part though is flawed:
"IMHO for a dividend as low as 10p you could expect the equivalent of a ramraid to acquire shares up to the point where the risk/reward ratio is no longer attractive. And I’d suggest that spending £1 to get £1.10 back in a few weeks is highly profitable if you’re investing large amounts. It’s as close to free money as you get."
They wouldn't get £1 back as once the dividend is paid then the share price would drop back quite a lot so they may end up paying £1 to get about 40p back.
