What's up with Endeavour?

The Endeavour share price is falling on the back of the company's investor day presentation.

The company reiterated that it sees $120 million to $230 million in growth opportunities in FY23 alongside a targeted capital expenditure (CAPEX) plan of $200 million to $260 million for the year.

It's also targeting 20 to 30 additional retail stores, while aiming to allocate some of its CAPEX spend to the acquisition of "hotels, production assets and productivity".

In addition, the company is also looking at a dividend payout ratio of 70–75% from free cash flow "based on current expectations".

Investors don't appear to have welcomed the news with open arms, and instead appear to be taking a 'glass half empty' approach in today's session.

The selling pressure has occurred on a volume more than 67% of the stock's four-week trading average at more than 2.2 million shares.

As such, Endeavour now trades back in line with its February 2022 levels.
