Can only prove you right. In a way, it is a bit of a shame that there is a division because together you should be stronger technologically and financially. In this case, however, there are many good reasons why a division is necessary, and a very good solution.
Normal reasons for a share:
- it shows the value of the various companies
- provides greater focus on the individual department of respective managers
- if something goes wrong, you don't hit both companies
- there may be tax benefits
Especially for Lac:
- political opposition to financing with public loans.
- big difference in mentality between Argentina and the US in political governance.
- Gangfeng will always cast a shadow, as they are the main owner of CO, although they have certainly contributed a lot of knowledge, and we see a great project in Co.
- General problems between China and the free world
- now you have a company that produces Lithium, and a company that is still under development.
- also believes that the new Lac will work hard to become a high-tech company with a focus on several branches of the green transition.
My conclusion until something new comes, to keep both companies for the long haul, and then maybe redistribute later.
