Midway Limited provided earnings guidance for the first half of 2018. The company expects to achieve consensus earnings forecasts for the fiscal year 2018, despite lower than expected earnings for the first half. The first half of the financial year is traditionally weaker than the second half however a slight delay in export shipments has now meant the first half of fiscal year 2018 will be lower than the first half in fiscal year 2017. However, the slippage of these two shipments into the second half and better trading conditions are expected to offset the lower earnings in the first half.
