I would love to see Hills re-introduce a dividend with the full year results, it would be the ultimate signal that the turnaround is complete.
Having said that, if they don't introduce a dividend, it won't be the end of the world, solid results that showcase a stable business with savings in costs and good revenues should be enough for the market to start to believe in the Hills story again. Dividends would then follow in the near future, ie: interim dividend in Feb?
