Hi Alan,
Firstly, thanks for the feedback around Education – great to hear. At MM we simply want to create a great environment / platform where investors can get solid information & insight that leverages what we see in the markets now, while applying our experience of actively investing & managing funds over the past 20-30 years.
Now to Pilbara (PLS), they announced targeted dividend payout ratio of 20-30% of free cash flow, which is reflecting the early stages of the company’s growth cycle. We would expect they’ll pay at the top end of that which implies a dividend in FY23 of ~34c putting it on a yield of ~6%.
We like this story longer term, and the dividend only supports that view. We’re a little more 50/50 short term given how crowded this trade is, hence our move to trim (but not sell) IGO in the flagship Growth Portfolio. We would get keen on PLS again ~10% lower.
