MRP price expected face pressure with the looming of meridian ipo, but actually last couple weeks the price seems strongly recovered from all-time low $2.16, bought few more at $2.17, interesting to see what's going on when meridian ipo started, decided to buy into all up coming SOE ipo.
Divvies being paid on Monday, funny to see a little uptrend over last week to $2.30.
Can't complain too much, it's exactly what people calculated it would be at the IPO and then some.Quote:
The Board has declared a fully imputed final dividend of 7.2 cents per share (cps), in line with the IPO forecast and paid less than five months after listing. This brings total dividends declared in FY2013 to $168 million (or 12cps), which represents a gross dividend yield of 6.7% on the IPO price of $2.50.
For the coming financial year, FY2014, the Board remains comfortable with our IPO forecasts of significant growth in EBITDAF, reflecting the earnings contribution from the new Ngatamariki geothermal plant. The forecasts at the time of the IPO also anticipated an 8.3% increase in fully imputed full year dividends from 12cps to 13cps for FY2014. Based on our share price on 20 September, this represents a gross yield of 8.1%.
Annual report is what it is: https://www.nzx.com/companies/MRP/announcements/241788
With the Dividends today and the amount of MRP shares I've collected at 2.17. At the current share price I've finally broken even on my initial IPO investment if I sold tomorrow. Pretty happy at the moment hopefully once meridian is done the price may hold at 2.30 for awhile *fingers crossed*
MRP has just announced a share buyback. Who picked that one?

Was far far away from my thoughts. Desperate times call for desperate measures eh ! First they hint at dividend increases....and now this. All in an attempt to elevate the SP prior to Meridian float. Wow. Not complaining tho...as have a few.
What happens to the shares they buy ? Are they retired ? Or can they be sold again should the money be needed in the future ? Or used for staff bonuses ?
Will also reduce the 'bonus share' liability on those retail holders who sell. Incremental, but still saves a few bob.
