Q: Is not 2019 projections significantly better then 2018? A company want to be responsible they are penalized???

“As the timing of the full impact of these cost saving programs is difficult to determine, we believe it prudent to re-evaluate our guidance for 2019. Consequently, for 2019 we are now forecasting revenue of $385 to $400 million and adjusted EBITDA in a range of $55 to $60 million, excluding any contributions from potential future acquisitions.”

Q: Is there a "reason " behind SIS announcing its preliminary and un audited year end and last quarter financial results suddenly , which it had never done in the past ? The figures were not that bad when compared to street estmates, though EBITDA was marginally lower . Is something "brewing " for SIS which an ordinary investor is unaware?

Q: What are your thoughts on SIS's premature earnings release with disappointing EBITDA miss and lowered guidance? Also they pointed to less acquisitions and more focusing on getting the house in order. Obviously not good to hear they are struggling in Europe. I have always liked this mgmt and I feel they handled this primarily negative release well and I appreciate their transparency and guidance on how they plan to fix the issues. But what does this mean for a company that has struggled for the last 5 months, are we now looking at another year plus of lowered guidance, less or no acquisitions, restructuring, and beaten down share price? Thanks

Q: Is it a good time to buy WSP. It seems to me that if SNC ends up being convicted, and then banned from Federal government contracts, that WSP (also HQ in Montreal) could be a big beneficiary with lots of new business. Why does the media only mention possible job losses for SNC, wouldn't WSP just hire many of those people anyway?

Q: I was disappointed with the sizeable drop in the share price of Cineplex today. When I look at the attendance and revenue results for the past twelve years, attendance is essentially flat, not down, while revenues have shown a consistent increase (about 60% since 2009). Am I just trying to convince myself to hang in there in the face of the inevitable decline or do you think there is hope for this stock?
