Xavi
Nice little pop for Demco today, anything else driving this other than rosey 4th Q projections?
Xavi
Pon
Possible profit in 3Q
Xavi
Thanks Pon, I thought the “profit” number in 3Q is largely down to them deferring the repairs to 1Q17 which is low season. Anyhow 2016 looks like a lost year for Demco but I expect it to be a strong turnaround play in 2017.
Pon
A profit nonetheless though. Fickle beasts.
Jay
wasn’t it supposed to be a turnaround play 2H16? optimism at its finest!
Xavi
Well as they say hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it Jay?
Pon
Well lets see how it plays out, i do put a high probability for them to show a net profit in 3Q16 n 4Q16. 1Q17-2Q17 is still a bit of a question mark.
