A verdict describes what became of management’s own words in later analysed calls. “Delayed” is a change of date, “went quiet” a target the calls stopped mentioning. None of it is a judgement on the investment. The methodology sets out how verdicts are recorded.

3 of Linc Limited's 10 targets were missed. See which ones, and which are quietly gone. The 3 above are the free sample; 7 more targets are in the full ledger.
