Wesfarmers (WES) has agreed to sell its Curragh coal mine in Queensland to US miner Coronado Coal Group for $700 million plus a value share agreement.
We suggest the company is likely to reduce borrowings to some degree, as earnings have been reduced, and subject to franking credits may return capital to shareholders.
We believe a reasonable strategy is to sell $45.00 June call options for $1.02 credit and expect to keep exposure to the $1.03 dividend declared on the 20th February.
