Hawks,
There have been several posts with links, recently. Not recalling reading a linked piece with Morris' comments that you reference. If you could please provide the link that would be appreciated.
In re to the earnings release and CC, my guess would be that they are looking to schedule the release around the schedule for other info that will be released shortly. Either they'll perhaps have the release/CC just after AM Makes announcement, if they know that's favorable, or perhaps they'll schedule it just following some other piece of news.
so, just my opinion, but I think they may be waiting for an opportunity to deliver some news of some significance, close in time. For the sake of discussion/ speculation let's say the AM Makes report is positive news -- would there still need to be a deal hashed out to define a next step forward between GEA and Sigma?
In other words, one would think Sigma would have to know if GEA is essentially going to say positive things or neutral/ not so positive things re the concluding phase of testing by now, but would Sigma also know, assuming GEA wants to move forward with support from Sigma, what the next deal step/phase will look like, such that they are prepared to make an announcement on the CC?
Of course we can only speculate, but as long as mgmt is within the regulatory schedule for reporting, which someone had commented would run until the end of March, perhaps add'l days and weeks into March enables more potentially supportive developments/ news to be released and thus they might want to keep the release date open for now? Do you think that may explain earnings date not yet having been released?
Would like to have a look at Morris' comments that you reference, please.
Thank you
