Perpetual is an asset manager not a broker. They will hold an undervalued company as long as its future earnings potential is compelling enough to hold the stock - they tend to be more conservative than most other fundies so for Perpetual to be comfortable with the debt levels is significant in my view.
I should add, what I think the market is missing at the minute is that the B&D acquisition will bolster WHC’s earnings and will enable WHC to pay increased returns back to shareholders. This was reiterated by the MD in the half year results a couple of weeks ago.
Target $18.72, page-8537
