In General, ...if one can generalize, results are dueI am surprised. I went back about 4 years. There were several occasions when fall results were announced as late as February 7th. But when they were announced that late, there had been preliminary results released, usually in December.
There's likely nothing amiss, but investors only like suprises that exceed expectations. It likely is a result of late permits, mid Nov. Through year end, snow didn't seem to be a factor. Then I quit checking.
January is half over. To avoid surprises, you set expecations & explain.
