OPINION: Synlait's woes continue to drag the company down. The listed milk processor’s share price dropped to an all-time low of 30c last week, valuing the company at around only $65 million, a huge slump from its peak value.

There are only two options for Synlait. Either it has to sell assets or it has to raise more share capital.
But no one wants to buy its $400m under-utilised Pokeno plant and not too many shareholders are keen for a capital raise either. Something has to give.
