RE:RE:RE:Will a resumption of dividend sink the SP?Nonsense.
Firstly, the restaurant industry is vastly different pre-and post-pandemic. The price immediately prior to COVID, reflecting short-term issues, is not a reliable guide of future value. The average price of the last 5 years is more reliable.
Secondly, the market is forward looking. The short-term distribution will be hampered by the impact of restrictions - it is the long-term possibilities that will entice buyers.
It will be getting on for the middle of next year before we really get a good idea of the new normal for distributions and company prospects.
A $1.20 dividend, assuming a yield of 7% would imply a SP of circa $17.

The SP is almost at the same level as pre-pendamic. It need to be not too far away from the original dividend.
