Die Osiris-Zahlen sind da! Hört sich eigentlich alles gut an, aber der Konsensus (der zugegeben wenigen Analysten) wurde klar verfehlt.
EPS wurden 6 Cents erwartet, OSIR liefert nun 3 Cents. Kommentare zum Ausblick etc. werden auch noch wichtig sein, aber ich tendiere dazu meine NEV mal kurzfristig zu verkaufen.
