RE:Lack of clarityUltimately, Dale wants to double the stock price. He believes if he doubles production, profitability should double and the share price should double. Total cost $1.4-1.5B as per the announcement.
Another option is to buyback half of your shares, while increasing production to 40,000. At current price, that's less than $500M for share buyback and I am not sure how much they need to spend to get production to 40,000.
The second scenario seems a lot less volatile for the share price and the first one.
