    Excuse the ignorance, how many shares does MQG have on issue?

    300M or something?

    Anyway, assuming it's 300M shares on issue.

    Say Half Yearly Profit is $450M.
    They choose a 40% dividend payout ratio (they state 40-60%) as this is a GREAT opportunity to buy cheaper assets.
    This is $180M in dividends, or $0.60 each.

    Failing that...
    Profit turns out to be $550m.
    Choose a 60% payout ratio.
    This is $1.10 each.

    Assume second half of the year is 20% better...
    Using the $1.10 scenario, this is $2.42 for the full year.

    Meaning, todays price can only be 'valid' if dividends are expected to increase in the future, or one of my assumptions is wrong.

    Having said that, I think dividends will increase in the future :)
