Base on numbers the eps only improve marginally from 3 Sen to 3.38 sen
So it's not a very good deal as existing shareholders will be diluted.

2015-09-20 16:20

CFTrader

With such deal, why don't AWC utilize their cash to buy over the company ?

2015-09-20 19:02

CFTrader

base on the 228 million share , 23 cent cash per share, it has 52.575m cash.
Why AWC must issue share instead of paying them in full ?

That's the question of thought. Cash is not good when it is not utilized ...

2015-09-20 19:04

TengkuFaisal

issue shares to dilute shareholder ma. bad co. always like that, the cash, is on standby to disappear when the need arises.

paperplane2, or other fella that have prejudice towards Icon8888, I just have 1 thing to tell you.

" You tak suka Icon8888's post, you boleh keluar, you boleh avoid buying his call or such thing"

It is really an eyesore to look at some forumer attack other forumer. You all are adults, grown up, and do your things.
___________________________________________________________

To Icon8888, To make vendors a stakeholder in company. Yes.

But to me, this deal just tells me something. The CF Generation power "might" be strong (well, I assume it coz it has 23c CPS), but they are not utilize it well to generate funds to shareholder...

After waiting for a month, I begin to wonder if the writer made a typo error - that it should be over value instead of under-value?

Read with your wisdom & invest at your own risk.

Idiots are always here & there, the common characters are brainless (that's why can't read) & like to blame this & that (because always lose money, can't blame himself/themselves).

If you have wisdom you won't be here reading through all the stupid talk.
