Dutch term or phrase: het derde kwartaal niet halen/missen
1998 Oktober: crisis – derde kwartaal gemist
... x [bedrijf] bleek, voor mij totaal onverwachts, het derde kwartaal niet te halen. Door de financiële crisis in Azië was plotseling een kopersstaking ontstaan. Hierdoor leden we opeens verlies over het derde kwartaal van 1998. We voldeden hiermee niet aan de verwachtingen van de analisten. Er brak paniek uit op de beurs en de koers van het aandeel x kelderde.
