THE huge number of companies rushing to report their financial results yesterday caused the Singapore Exchange (SGX) online platform to experience slowness, which resulted in delays in the release of some results. 'Some users are experiencing slowness when accessing SGXNET services due to heavy traffic. Any inconvenience caused is regretted,' SGX said in an announcement on its website. Users were encouraged to try again after an hour if they were having difficulties.
As at 7.30 pm yesterday evening, 181 out of 510 companies had yet to release their results. However, by 8.45 pm, the platform appeared to be running normally again. One company had to cancel an evening telephone conference briefing as it was unsure when its results would be released. But as it turned out, its FY08 results were released later in the evening.
