Q: SPB just announced the suspension of its DRIP plan. What is rationale for any company, like SPB here, to do so?
I always thought a DRIP plan is a good way for a company to conserve/manage its cash flow while the additional share dilution is really at the expense of its existing shareholder base. Hence it is to a company's advantage to have a DRIP.
What is your view on the pros and cons of a DRIP? Please enlighten us. Thanks.
