RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Some ThoughtsIn terms of the share price settling in the mid 7's and a dividend cut - who knows for sure - my point in my last post was that their distributable cash covers the dividend with some room to spare.
Then why does net debt increase every year if there is room to spare? Yes, the distribution is covered, as long we ignore the supposed "one-off expenses" - legal provisions one year, environmental provisions another year, maybe currency hedges in another year. There is always something. I suggest the bulls calculate net debt as of Dec 31st for each of the past five years. It isn't pretty and the EBITDA to debt ratio could be north of 5 in 2019, much too high for a commodity manufacturer.
