Cima F2 Exam Question No 20

Question No 20:

What is Market price after issue?
  • After the announcement of a rights issue there is a tendency for share prices to fall.
  • The temporary fall is due to uncertainty about:
  • Consequences of the issue
  • Future profits
  • Future dividends.
  • After the actual issue the market price will normally fall again because:
  • There are more shares in issue (adverse affect on earnings per share), and
  • New shares were issued at market price discount.
