S.D. Standard ETC came into this quarter with a fresh profitability story and a P/E of 15.4x that already priced in plenty of hope. The stock closed at NOK1.85 on 7 August, only slightly ahead over the past month. However, the new Q2 numbers hit that narrative hard.

Q2 revenue reached about US$218.6m and trailing net profit margin sits at 4.2%, which is double last year’s level. The bigger issue for you is not today’s close.
