While U.S growth is strong, it was in line with market expectations. The ANZ business will need significant marketing spend to boost revenue and this cost will hit the bottom line. We’ll need to see further decline in the share price, or proof of recovery in revenue at the next quarterly before we consider it more seriously, having exited back in December, taking a solid profit around ~$3.
