Not achieving their previously stated $10B/year goal would be a material impact to future DL financial results, I would think.
While I wished that too, very, very rarely are these gotcha questions asked. They are always asked behind the scenes, never in public and behind the scenes, that is a softball question
. If someone is really that unhappy that they are going to ask that type of question, it is always going to be when they have the CEO's undivided attention and can ask a lot of other questions that are on their mind and give the CEO a piece of their mind about how to run the company. We always prepare for them, but only once in my career has anyone ever asked a question like that in a public meeting. Behind the scenes...all the time.
