    It is mentioned the approach taken by the CFO is disposing off crown jewels of the company. If cash reserves are returned to shareholders, how does it increase the share price of the company?

    Can you please also explain this line:

    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.

    The 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).
