DM ideally positioned in the face of adversityTwo key elements benefit DM disproportionately compared to other businesses, under the currently challenging COVID-19 Omicron variant:
1) COVID-19. As the COVID situation deteriorates DM legacy business will continue, while having the potential to generate added revenue. So, bottom line, at worst DM will continue raking in the solid COVID revenu it's built on over the past 1.5 years. Best case scenario, DM will add testing revenu;
2) AI. The nature of AI (essentially a remotely managed service delivery) makes that business can go on mostly unimpeded.
When thinking of just about any other business, very few are involved in the provision of COVID-19 testing and generate its associated incomes. Two years ago DM took on an out-of-the-blue challenge, raised by the Canadian embassy in Seoul, of acting as a conduit for the provision of COVID-19 test to Canada. DM turned around on a dime and rose to the challenge. They've, accordingly, been able to generate otherwise unexpected income to DM shareholders and this trend appears set to continue, if not increase, over the weeks and months to come. All to DM's shareholder's benefits.
Most business, by the shear nature of their product and/or service delivery are challenged by ongoing COVID-19 restrictions - either through difficulties in receiving goods (i.e. manufacturing) or service delivery (i.e. tourism). In the meantime, DM can continue operating, mostly, unimpeded (i.e. a Canada-based AI programmer can continue working on South Korean AI services provided to Lotte Group). As such, AI revenu streams remain largely unimpeded.
I think many people don't quite grasp the incredibly positive position DM shareholders stand, compared to just about any other business out there!
Granted, these benefits remain unrecognized in the market, at this time, but time will come when the tide changes. When this happens everyone will want to hop on the DM bandwagon and the sp will be unstoppable.
My two cents, as we're nearing year's end. GLTA
