A bit of a disappointing response to the news but when you dangle the prospect of a growing US market, it overshadows all that was positive about the rest of the business. Provided traction is gained in the US there will be a breakout.
What I took from yesterdays presentation (I only had one ear on it) was that PBEE don't really want to speculate on the speed of growth in the US and so pinned it against how the UK market grew, whilst acknowledging that the US growth does not have to go through anything like the development that the UK market did, so reading between the lines, I think they are hoping for a much more rapid growth but are not prepared to state it until they have some real US data.
I think they set sensible targets and have been consistent in tracking the required growth, happy to let it do it's thing, it will get noticed.
