Do the efforts of issuers to stress communication with investors make sense in the time of crisis? This question is rightly asked by the boards of listed companies which observe that despite their efforts share prices fall investors’ dissatisfaction grows.
I would like to draw attention to specific aspects of running investor relations in difficult times and common problems faced by listed companies.
• Falling share prices - is it enough to present figures and graphs showing better behavior of our shares listings in relation to the selected indexes and competitors in the industry?
• Forecast – if and when to cancel the forecast and if it is a good idea to correction?
• Deteriorating financial results – how to explain the negative results to investors and what to stress?
• Hostile takeovers – how to protect yourself against cheap buy-in of hostile investors?
• IPO – how to make a public offer with a downward trend
The Tauber Public Relations company has been working with a group of several listed companies on investor relations for years and has a wide range of experiences which makes it easy to answer difficult questions. However, the key issue iswell- thought to communication with investors and a broad market, because only in this case the company has an impact on investors’ view.
