Announcement 11 Oct that margins for 2 months ending august were $6.55.
Shareprice jumped from ~$22 to ~$27.
Announcement 23 Nov that margins for 2 months ending Oct 23 were $5.49.
Shareprice moved from ~$27 to ~$30.
Announcement 16 Dec; exceptionally high refining margins ... expect a modest increase in div..."
Shareprice move to ~$32.
Announcement 16 Feb margins for 2 months ending Dec highest of year at $8.86.
Shareprice moves to $34.50.
Query 1: I wonder if they knew on 16 Dec that the margins would be as high as $8.86 (very large increase from previous of $5.49).
If not, perhaps we can see much more than "a modest increase" in div?
Query 2: Does today's shareprice movement strike anyone else as pretty quiet for record-breaking news? (Maybe more rise tomorrow?)
