" in relation to an update to operational performance and production guidance"
If it was good then no need for a trading halt. Just let the shorters suffer on release of ann or before if the news is leaked.
Likely an adjustment to the shorter term outlook flowing through to and missing this years target? There may be some speculation that this will require some funding to get through the issue although hopefully this is addressed in the ann ?
Long term will not be an issue.
The shorters may have a few good days.
At least we have the short covering to look forward to.
I see State Street shorters i presume have just ann'd this morning a substantial holder notice over in CXO.
