I've been trying to buy in all day, but the price just keeps creeping up, even with the downtrending ALL ORDs as the day progressed. It looked nice at 0.30$ SP, but not as nice at 0.38, perception of a bargain is disappearing.
But you mention a 70% DIV, according to my calcs, the DIV would be 35% for the full year on a $0.38 SP. They paid 9.65c already, and will likely pay another 4-5c in June 09.
Hi Snakey, good to see someone else on here is following GMG, it seems a lot more popular on hotcopper.
I was just going by the earnings to DIV percentage, half year earnings were 11.1cps, and DIV was eventually 9.65cps, which is a 87% DIV return on earnings, therefore is they held their full year earnings at 19.3cps, then I was assuming the full year DIV should be roughly 87% return on earnings, so 87% on 19.3cps is 16.8cps, but I didn't actually think it would be that high. so working back on a $0.38 SP, with at highest expected DIV of 16.8cps, return be 44%, I was thinking more along the lines of 35%, as everyone likes to drop the DIV a bit these days to help with cash flow and reduce debt, but yes you're right, more like 50% on todays $0.34 SP.
Incidentally, not trying to argue, just showing you how I did the calc. It seems to make sense, but there's always the chance of a surprise. Let me know if you see any holes in the above theory.
Yeah theory looks good,
Better to play safe than sorry
looks like we will get a strong bullish close
cheers
did you manage to get some over the last few days?
Other than GPT, this is the best REIT in the aussie market.
Thats a big statement to make. Are you not worried about debt ? And too much of it ? $400M required to be refinanced by may (no statement on this yet), $600M to be refinanced 2010.
Debt is what has killed or maimed other big aussie co's.
Gday guys, looks like GMG won't be paying out the second half distribution in order to focus on capital 'survival'. I'm still looking at this stock but the ongoing debt problems are a worry.
