Spanish term

dale mejor parada

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This text is from an email (Argentina). I'm wondering if it means that the company comes out of the situation in a better position, or if it somehow means that the writer is giving the receipent a better understanding of the situation? The "dale" part isn't clear to me. Thanks in advance.

Sí, hoy la Empresa deja de cobrar $1 M y de pagar $2,3M, es decir que dale mejor parada de la situación. Se le pidió a "XYZ" que se haga cargo de esa diferencia pagando más que el $1 M que hoy hace.
Lo hablamos por teléfono más tarde si no soy claro.

Nov 19, 2019 — Curiosamente, o quizá no tanto, es Robin la ***que sale mejor parada de la situación***, a pesar de que es ella la que se lleva la amarga sorpresa ...

when I entered the text "que dale mejor parada de la situación" to Google search, it was immediately autocorrected :)

Thank you! I understood it but didn't think of "sale." This was very helpful, thanks again

Almost certainly a typo for "sale mejor parada" . The company comes out of the situation in a better position.

The "s" is next to the "d"

takes advantage of...

Definitely, there is a typo in the email. It should have said "sale mejor parada" instead of "dale mejor parada". So, the translation should be like "takes advantage of...".
