Get some positive news on AIR stake in VAH and think 2.45 is achievable ST, believe that news is not far off..all going to plan.
Interesting move and does AIR no harm in terms of its prospects of selling.
Interestingly this stake is taken right at consensus view of asset backing http://www.4-traders.com/VIRGIN-AUST...65/financials/ with no value ascribed to VAH's IP or goodwill...hardly surprising seeing as they're currently unprofitable. Consensus broker view is considerably higher though and could be enhanced by this deal with its implications around growth going forward. Taking into account the strategic value of AIR's stake I don't think 40 cps is completly out of the question for AIR's shares and hopefully any deal is nice and clean and involves a complete sale and repayment of any shareholder loans previously advanced.
So it looks that HNA would only need 7% of VAH shares more, which I assume would come from Air NZ. Would the capital raised be used pay back AirNZ's loan to VAH?
......cant believe anyone would be selling at these levels with such potential news about to be released to the market, any day soon? Might be worth 20 or 30c to the SP........IMHO.
Profit taking is my guess. Some clever people went shopping at 2.05. Wish I was one of them.
Or different kind of clever people keeping price down to stock up. Seems to be some odd sells going on.....
I am resisting the urge to buy more but feel comfortable that the VAH thing will play out well. See if I can resist if it goes down below 2.25....
Maybe some are viewing the HNA share issue as a negative?
Anyone have any comments on this? VAH share price seems to be reacting positively and as a major shareholder that's a plus but does it weaken AIRs position on selling at a premium?
I'm only thinking straight off the cuff here and out loud, (which is usually a dangerous thing to do LOL), but first up its important to note this is imply a heads of agreement at this stage.
Not only would it probably require the necessary approvals from Canberra but I would have thought it would also be something that would need ratification from shareholders by way of special resolution requiring 75% approval i.e. AIR's agreement. I think the lack of premium to NTA reflects the weakness of VAH's balance sheet, its present gearing level of nearly 6:1 debt equity is not something any airline should be proud of and its presently approximately breaking even when most airlines are doing well. Whether AIR can execute a transaction at a premium to that price now there's been that line drawn in the sand for their strategic stake now the balance sheet is somewhat strengthened remains to be seen.
Yes quite possibly wd. TBH I'm not sure what existing shareholder approvals if any are required for a company to issue that quantum of shares on the ASX, so above post is just a guess really.
Maybe this is a form of VAH expressing its dissatisfaction with its unsupportive shareholder ?
Lots of guesswork, proposals, charts, premiums, knives (falling, bouncing and placed between ribs) and AIR rises 1.6%
Meanwhile, back at the coalface, no guesswork, no rumours, no knives and HBL ticks up just the same percentage.
Moral of the story ??
Sometimes ya moneys just better off in The Bank
