It's a free market but I wish Minority Shareholders had held onto their shares instead of selling that at 95 (incl the FY 2017 dividend) to SAHL.
If Stanbic can make 15/- (EPS) then at 90 that was 6x PER which is "cheap" in my book. Within 2018, the DY would be a decent 7.5% which is better than 1-year FDR from most banks including Stanbic.
I am pragmatic. I expect to sell out of Stanbic in the future when SAHL comes calling but they need to pay a fair price not 6x PER or 0.9x BV.
