RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: how would a refinancin This is going to be the end of me entertaining this false paradigm. I'll leave a list of videos below... but you should look into Enterprise Value concepts.
Alright. with the video list below, understand that right now if they were to refinance at a lower rate i believe that they would have $250M of LFCF that amounts to dividends per share of around $7.14 per year. If you use your strategy and divide that across 120m shares, you have destroyed the value of the equity, knocking it down to $2.08 per share per year.
Note that:
1. Companies that have debt do pay dividends.
2. Companies can and should take on as much debt as they can reasonably pay down using their cash flows during a crisis.
Anyway, I encourage you to read Ben Graham's security analysis. specifically note on page 509:
"The optimum capitalization structure for any enterprise includes senior securities to the extent that they may safely be issued and bought for investment"
