Cguv, beyond noting that the ASX temporary innovation of allowing back-to-back halts seems to have become very popular "overnight", I think all we can do is wait...and contemplate the many variables that could be in play.
As MJ has suggested, we have unavoidable lockdown delays. Working from home is not an option to see completion of the development/testing process. But getting key technical staff alongside (
well, 1.5 metres apart from) their imec colleagues, could be a way to expedite. Although likely at some considerable cost.
One thing I have learned is that a majority of Americans are very risk averse. 15 years ago, I had great difficulty getting US technical leaders to visit Asia around the time SARS was a news item. Even though SARS was quite localized within a few locations within Asia, I was confronting emotional perceptions that it was unsafe to travel anywhere in the hemisphere from Istanbul east to Honolulu!
What I'm saying is, it might take some (expensive) inducements to restore momentum.
Next steps for shareholders? Countdown the sleeps remaining till Monday?....
