RE:RE:Q4 Book Value estimateI have a longer time horizon and don't mind the low stock price if there is NCIB put in place. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy back stock at insanely cheap prices while real interest rates are deeply negative. Cash is losing value, BoC just upped rates so using excess cash over the next few quarters to buy back stock is a no brainer. Imagine over the course of the year company retires 4M shares at average $2.50 per share. Cost is $10M to reduce count by over 8%.
45M shares with EPS 1.20 is $54M in profits. Less than 20% of profits are used for buyback.
