Institutions could not give a **** what size a company is or the price of its shares, if they think they can achieve a reasonable return over time with limited risk on their investments then they will buy.
The problem is RTD itself and in particular the CEO. The recent update is a typical example. CC should of kept his big mouth shut and surprised the markets in March with an unexpected profits increase and a bullish statement.
Bearing in mind the Interims only came out in September the recent trading update only goes to reinforce the widely held view in the City that he does not know what is going on in his own company. How can you warn on decreased profits for the second half in September then claim the second half profits will exceed expectations 12 weeks later.
In March he will then warn of difficult times ahead in the US due to the collapse of the dollar. This will send RTD shareprice plunging again.
