Placing bonds to pay dividends? Sounds strange to me. Is this the usual way to raise money for dividends and share buybacks? And above all, is it sustainable?

@marda304 well, it's just a standard formulation in the wording, as with most other companies 🤫 ...you haven't just been there since yesterday 😉

@marda304 sounds worse than it has to be. For me, it depends on how the rest of the business model is going. For example, if they have been using the surplus to expand the business so far and the company value has increased, does it matter if I take on debt to buy assets and pay dividends with the core business? Or whether I grow with profits from the core business and pay dividends with debt? Presumably they can grow more dynamically with this approach because they don't have to hoard money first.

But you would have to look at how things are going in the company otherwise.
