They were planning on divesting out of their ExactEarth ship service, but that got put on hold because of market conditions. Their core business is manufacturing satellite components, which is going to be a growing business over the next decade. In the short term it looks like there has been a slowdown in that business. Doesn’t see a lot in significant earnings growth right now. They are also under strategic review, so are trying to look at ways to enhance shareholder value. He is just happy to stand aside and watch.
He used to own this. He was interested in the West Africa play, but he was looking for a higher grade play instead. Right now West Africa is not a safe play geopolitically speaking. This is probably impacting the share price. Infrastructure constraints make it more expensive in their area as well -- power comes strictly from diesel.
They a 5-million ounce deposit, rare. A low-grade one in Ghana which scares some investors, and they don't have production financing in place, but will come. But he's bullish about Ghana where insurgency fears are way overblown.
(A Top Pick Mar 26/21, Up 180%) Second largest shareholder after Murray Edwards.
Would buy again.
Months away from starting a meaningful dividend.
Expecting a 7-9% dividend yield.
Expecting a double in share price.
