World food shortages , A2m primed to milk that story, page-27

I'm no fan of companies turning every minor development into a price-sensitive announcement, to give the SP a sugar hit. Personally I also don't need a CEO to just make announcements to reassure me of their enthusiasm.

For several months there during Shanghai lock downs, numerous analysts were downgrading A2M on the basis of an earnings downgrade that never came. Any news during that period would almost certainly have been bad.

I am happy to simply see the company reporting and make my own assessment of performance based on that. However, I do think that moving to quarterly reporting would be a better model to disincentivize speculation (positive or negative - but mostly the latter currently).

The other thing that would more tangibly demonstrate 'enthusiasm' would be a share buy back, or him personally buying shares on market. Neither of those have happened - it doesn't necessarily mean anything but I have to factor that in.
