A number of companies suffered from a loss in revenues during the final quarter of 2026, following the passage of the hurricane. Others faced continued revenue pressure from the critical tourist sector that recorded sharp decline in visitor arrivals in the first quarter of 2026 and probably for a longer period.
Underperformers stock or the quarter was In Junior Market was Kintyre Holdings, which fell 46 percent, having ran up to 70 cents at the end up 2026, faced heavy selling in the quarter, as buyers reduced the price they were prepared to buy the stock at. Iron Rock Insurance declined by 29 percent, with investors concerned about the impact the hurricane would have on underwriting margin as well as concerns on the investment portfolio performance with lower interest rates in the country. Paramount Trading dropped 19 percent, reflecting some profit taking after the stock ran up in 2025 based on improved half year results but much lower second quarter profits compared with the first quarter as sales suffered with the interruption caused by Hurricane Melissa. Main Event shed 16 percent, with Hurricane Melissa shattering an already pressured operation that was passing through a period of reduced revenues resulting in a small loss for 2025 coming out of a year of uncertain economic outturn leading up to the general elections in 2025.
