Loretta Young, who just two years ago was appointed president of Mobile Company, admits that the company has been “inconsistent” in its performance over the past several years. But Young argues that the company has its costs under control and is now experiencing strong sales growth, as evidenced by the more than 27% increase in sales over the last year. Young also argues that investors have recognized the improving situation at Mobile Company, as shown by the jump in the price of its common stock from $47.00 per share last year to $57.00 per share this year. Young believes that with strong leadership and with the modernized equipment that the $1,000,000 loan will enable the company to buy, profits will be even stronger in the future. |
