These are both very important matters to new investors. If 33 billion were converted at its stated value that dilutes the existing commons a minimum of 300% each. New money would dilute even more depending on the terms. If commons were to declare a dividend the more shares outstanding reduces payout for everyone including new investors given the potential impact of preferred conversion even before a potential SPO.
What do you think about a Pro-Forma BV Valuation for FMCC?
FMCC GAAP BV is $9 bn NWS Overpayment is $11 bn 2020 Earnings est $7 bn
12/31/20 est BV with $11 bn settlement is $27 bn or $8.30 12/31/20 est BV is $4.92 without settlement Today $2.77BV - with $0.30 increase in BV with every $1 bn of earnings or net settlement proceeds or DTA adjustment.
Add DTA of $6 bn - FMCC 2020 adj BV is $10.15
Wouldnt potential SPO be at least at BV - more likely at a multiple. Right now FMCC is earning approximately 15% ROI on Conservatorship Capital.
he things you listed all flow to retained earnings, which are generally a good proxy for the liquidation preference of the commons.

this is equity
NPV of future earnings not coverage
and yes - some might say the current price of a stock reflects - on a discounted basis the future earnings as viewed as dividends
that model has been relegated to a back shelf in the days of AMAZON and the many others who plowed years and years of profit into new activity and not dividends
indeed - during a growth period - which can be never 1 year 10 years or a ton more years - capital markets theory (U of C at least) says that if a company has a ROI on new expansion and such > Market ROI - it is foolish and undesirable to issue out cash in the form of dividends and investors are buying for price growth and WANT zero dividends
