We opened a position in Whitehaven (WHC) back on the 21st of April 2023 buying 750 shares at $7.33. This morning we are going to exit the position at the current market price $7.25
One thing we failed to update at the time that we will do now is the dividend. WHC traded ex-dividend on the 31st of Aug 2023. The dividend amount was $0.42, grossed up to include franking credits the dividend amount was $0.60.
We had hoped to hold this position for some time and collect additional dividends. But given the volatility we will exit today for a small profit.
