@dividends. So paying dividends increases the market value. That's really interesting. Though keeping earnings might increase the book value of the company, issuing dividends increases the market value. I guess there's an interesting balance there.

@Investors briefings. So generally, if a company posts profits over a period, it normally increases both the book value and the market value, bar a few occasions.
