Yes, the share price is disappointing - no doubt about that. Given that the company has been increasing it's profits since 2010 and today's RNS reflected what the company expected but still led to a slide in the SP; I'd say this was being primed by the market to initiate a takeover bid.
That's just my observation, nothing else, so no accusations of ramping please! There were rumours earlier on in the year.
