Ford Motor Company yesterday made a comeback into the Sri Lankan automobile market with four class leading vehicle models, a new and exclusive Ford dealer and a bundle of growth expectations.

Appointing Future Automobiles, a subsidiary of Softlogic Holdings as the company’s exclusive dealer, Ford is confident that the sales which are “not quite there yet” might take a turn towards the positive and serve up a better slice of the growth pie in the coming years.

It's a good news. Ford has a high reputation in the world market. Good that they appointed a company like Softlogic Holdings as their agent here. This will add value to softlogic as well. Good news for softlogic shareholders.

Please contact SAMP branch at Dharmapala Mw. which is open 365 days till 10.00 pm. Today even poya you could contact them. Explain your issue and you could get answers to all 3 questions.

If softlogic is intelligent enough (which i think they are) they would have deducted the money before expo took the dip and people start to think exactly as you think right now. Anyways, how about

4) go ahead with it, and sell it in the first half hour ??

soflogic also have issues of private placement,as EXPO had....

It may be too late. Horse already left. No point in putting the bolt. Friends going after IPOs wrong. U ban buy for price lower than IPO price later.

we can't satisfy about EPS of SHL  Because of huge share amount available in market

Truly an undervalue share compare to other companies in same category.
Hospital sector should perform well
Finance and insurance arm also start doing well.
