Hi Dustin. Any word on results for Q1 ?...Almost 3 months now.
- Thanks ! ✌
Jose,
Others have listed the past few years' worth of Q1 results. Recently they've been coming out before the workshop whereas in the past they came out after. So if anything, I'd look for them to come out within the next few weeks.
This is my guess based on current trends as I don't know for sure.
