Well, it depends the degree of transparency you have.

If you say GDP is growing by 0.1% for example, most people would think it is negative.

In the West or Singapore where there is a greater transparency. Even though your coming Q result may not be good, but you have reasons to foresee better future results, investors may see a chance to buy your co's shares if traded with big discounts.

So how you " see  it " is as important.
