Yes, bvw, it is a puzzle. If it were purchase of a business, it would be in the "Investment" section. So if it's not the NE purchase, what is it?
And why does CBD have to be so secretive - $39.5M is a lot of solar pannels it must be something else as well, but shy keep investors in the dark.
I'm downgrading CBD's investment level till this whole issue is sorted. No wonder the share price is down.
