This stock I have held on to throughout its mainly downward journey in stock price. It’s management appear to have made bold & generally bad decisions. With poorly conceived foray into buying other businesses and then later disinvesting from them at a loss. With dividends reinvested and a rise in stock price over the last 12 months I am currently just over break even. The question is am I just benefitting from a rise in the overall stock market and the cut in dividends as far as the stock price is concerned. Or has there been a fundamental change and this is now a recovery play? Can it compete and shine in highly competitive market? The cut in share price also leaves me questioning should I keep it as an overseas share holder I will be taxed 15% on dividends or if I sell it. So my price target is about 15% from its current value. Whereupon I will determine my faith in management and the companies fundamentals including if it’s dividend rises have been at least 4%. As I anticipate relying on these in a years time.
