RE:BTE earnings this week Soon as earnings come out we will gnashing our teeth and growling about Q1 numbers which ends in just 5 weeks. Stock is up 18X from its low in 2020. It's up $1 since year end. It's done very,very well without a divy or a buyback. So why the hysterical screeching for a divy and buyback now? Short term pop so you can sell for another 25 cents? Sorry, most of us don't care about the flip around the earnings report. I expect the routine normal course issuer bid will result in limited buybacks without a stock crash. The priority they've had for over 2 years is to pay off debt so they are never ever beholden to the evil banks again. I'd rather see $1 a share in debt reduction than $1 in divy. All day long. Repeat and repeat. Don't even rinse. I'll remind you, a dividend and buybacks did NOTHING to ease the drop in 2020 for ALL producers. And it's worth remembering some producers borrowed to pay the divy rather than immediately cut it. That was a disaster.
