Also, the reason for the depressed share price may be because Pursuit Co’s shareholders
do not agree with the policy to retain large cash reserves.August 15, 2023 at 6:23 am #689937The market value of shares depends on the future expected dividends. If they pay higher dividends due to distributing cash reserves then it can increase the share price.
Equally, if the company is retaining cash rather than distributing it as dividend it can depress the share price (subject to how the company is investing the retained cash).August 16, 2023 at 5:53 am #690006Thank you so much, you are the best! 🙂
