Daniel Stewart has recently emerged from a difficult period. Its shares resumed trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market
On 6 March after a five-month trading suspension.
Trading in the stock was suspended on 1 October 2014 after the company did not file its annual report in time.
The company delayed publication of the report because it had discovered a shortfall in regulatory capital.
