Shares of Trafalgar Property Group (LON: TRAF) shares are up 3.45% Friday despite the company reporting a wider loss and fall in revenue in its interim results for the 6 months ended 30 September.Â
James Dubois, the company's Non-Executive Chairman, said the Covid-19 pandemic played a big role in its performance during the period:Â
‘The results for the year for the six months to 30 September 2021 are disappointing. However, we have been facing a period of great difficulty in the property sector with long planning delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and this has delayed the start of our next construction projects. Overheads have been reduced significantly whilst we await the results of our planning submissions.”
