Perhaps some people are having trouble with the word "expect"? It comes from the Latin for "to look out for" and can be defined as "look for - watch for - look forward to - look ahead to - contemplate". If someone says they expect  something to happen, it just means they are looking for it  to happen. That could be interpreted as being stronger, i.e. they think it probably  will happen, but they are not saying it will  happen.

Anyway, what matters are the Phase 3 results. As with AMRN, there will be a pre-results company and a post-results company, and the two will have very little in common.
