Itse odotin aika pehmeää Q4, tietäen ettei ainakaan pohjoismaissa kuluttaja paljoa tällä hetkellä juhli. Samaa vikaa vissiinkin myös saksankielisissä maissa. Raportin toteutuneet luvut silti ehkä pettymys, mutta ei omasta mielestäni mikään älytön katastrofi. Osinko nousee odotetusti. #osinkopuolue

At the beginning of the new financial year, and quarter to

ten percent compared with the same period last year.
