"Smaller rival BC Iron (BCI) also disappointed brokers with a lower than expected dividend payout ratio and lowered forward dividend guidance; this despite a relatively strong balance sheet with cash of $196.7M and debt of $65.6M as of the most recent quarter. This appears to have overshadowed what was otherwise an impressive report......"
Based on the 30c final 2013 dividend, a lot of shareholders expected a continuation of a strong dividend policy.
In my opinion:
Anyone expecting a 30c dividend was dreaming.
25c would have been very welcomed.
20c would have been acceptable.
17c was disappointing.
20c would have cost a measly $3.7m extra.
I trust the board intends putting the $3.7m to good use.
