OPINION: Is Canterbury milk processor Synlait back in business?
After announcing a turnaround in its financial performance, the listed company recorded a 50% rise in its share price - from 40c to 60c.
However, it's worth noting that one year ago, Synlait's share price was around 80c and two years ago around $3.50/share.
