Ann: CTD FY18 Half Year Results, page-14

I was in the USA Nov/Dec and I can state unequivocally that some companies did just that. My brother in law works for a very large outsourcing company. They scored several big contracts just after the tax bill made it through the first hurdle on the way to being implemented. They have done very well since the tax bill was passed into law I believe. Two of his uncles own businesses and they were holding of investing more capital until they saw what way the tax bill went. This is of course only anecdotal evidence however I have had several of my stocks say the same thing, some expecting revenues to double based on advance orders after a slower than usual 1H.
