Forum Topics TER TER Degenerate Trade

TER is a trade for degenerates like me as its a classic bottom of the cycle, high cost leverage opportunity.

Brief thesis is:

  • Ordinary thermal coal assets that don't really make money at the current coal price
  • Drove it to recently recap at close to 1 for 1 for $60m
  • Single holder taking just over half the raise via underwriting so free float remains tight and stock churn modest
  • Now has some buffer to wait out the cycle for longer thus giving optionality
  • Seems to be early potential emerging for cycle to start turning so operating leverage is likely skewed to upside from here


Recap doesn't stop it from going down if coal prices don't make a turn, slows the bleed hence the optionality.

Not for the faint of heart.

Is there the hope, outside of the SP rise, that they bring back a dividend as well?

Not even close to doing that again. Its a trade on the stock going up coz the BalSheet is fixed up at a time that the cycle may start to go in their favour.
