https://www.nzx.com/announcements/329805 Agree with you on this one Coutts. Shareholders have an expectation that Earl and his team will deliver a much better growth rate than last year's pathetic 5.3% interim growth result which Earl Gasparich described as a "strong result". I remember thinking at the time what's "strong" about it ? Very poorly chosen adjective in my opinion.
Shareholders holding at this price will be hoping this year's interim result really will be strong. Macca's must be licking their chops in anticipation of a huge share placement in 2020.
