20 November 2016
During last week Ukrainian public companies (such as MHP, Ovostar, IMC and others) reported their Q3 2016 financials, which, though, did not have much influence on their share prices. Financial results seem to be more important for understanding of general financial standing and strategic perspectives of companies.
