CSG Stock Recovers Following Strong Quarterly Performance
Market Reaction to Quarterly Results
May 20 (Reuters) - Shares in CSG rose more than 11% on Wednesday as solid quarterly numbers reassured investors, helping the Czech defence group recoup all losses after short seller Hunterbrook's report knocked roughly a quarter off the stock earlier this month.
Analyst Commentary
Jefferies said the results showed good underlying performance, with topline growth and adjusted operating profit margin in line with full-year guidance despite a tough comparison base in the ammunition-focused segment.
