It was a payout for the sale of part of Eddie Stobart trucking. I guess the markets thought it would be permanent tho they did insinuate the dividends would continue till 2021? Either way it’s returning cash to shareholders and in my opinion better than share buybacks . The tinkler spat put and end to those golden days and perhaps some Nigel Woodford forced selling ?
you would hope they are now investing more in the airport but only they know the returns thus far and what they can hope to,create
