Shares of James Fisher & Sons PLC (LON: FSJ) collapsed around 20% after the engineering firm said it has continued to face challenges in the third quarter.
James Fisher said it didn’t manage to materialize an improvement in its trading activity in three months to end-September 30. Revenue fell 17% for the first nine months of the year compared to a year-ago period.
“Trading in the third quarter continued to be challenging as the Group did not see the improvement to trading conditions and the seasonal uplift it had been anticipating at the Half Year Results,” the company said in today’s statement.
