The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Nov. 11, 1998 edition that Yogen Fruz World-Wide shares fell to their lowest point since April, 1997, yesterday as investors fretted that the company's fourth quarter financial results, due out any day, may not measure up to their high expectations. The Globe's Angela Barnes writes that yesterday A shares dipped to $4 before rebounding to close down 30 cents at $4.60 in heavy trading. Yesterday's loss followed on a 65 cent slide on Monday. Investors worry the results could be deflated by a weak performance from some of Yogen Fruz's international operations, particularly those in Thailand and South Korea. Onetime charges and a steep rise recently in the price of butter fat, a key ingredient in the company's products, are also feared. Maison Placements Canada analyst Bob Gibson had earlier thought Yogen Fruz might earn 21 cents a share in the three months ended Aug. 31, but now thinks its profit will perhaps be close to 12 cents or less. Mr. Gibson says most analysts had higher estimates than 21 cents.
