Wishful thinking?

At a $10 billion market cap, shareholders would expect a fully franked return of around four per cent p.a. So here's how it looks:

10,000,000,000 x 0.004 = 400,000,000 ($400 million) in fully franked dividends

Assuming a payout ratio of 60 per cent, that means Strike would need to generate NPAT of $600 million, which implies sales of, what? $1.5 billion? In five years time? Hmmm, without forensic analysis, it sounds like a bit of a stretch. I'd be more inclined towards a share price of $2 in five years time.

4,000,000 x 0.004 = 160,000,000 in dividends, implying sales of more like $400 million.

Throw open to the forum here. What does $400 million in gas sales look like? Or are both of us talking absolute shite? (I know I would take $2 in five years.)

PS: I have no idea of the profit margin for gas suppliers. My ratios could be miles out
