What does it mean?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sofia:<\/strong> &#8220;Sleeping beauty&#8221; refers to a company with significant potential for growth or profitability, but is currently inactive or underperforming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grace:<\/strong> Oh, I see. So, it&#8217;s like a company that has the potential to become successful, but is currently dormant?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sofia:<\/strong> Exactly. It&#8217;s often used to describe businesses that may require a change in management or strategy to unlock their full potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grace:<\/strong> Are there any strategies for waking up a &#8220;sleeping beauty&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sofia:<\/strong> Yes, there are several.
