Yeah I noticed, however it dropped a bit today, not sure why

The only thing that still worries me is contrast between the CEO 2007 forecast growth of 13-21% and the current Consensus forecast 27%

Earnings and Dividends Forecast (cents per share)
2005 2006 2007 2008
EPS 62.8 105.4 134.6 145.2
DPS 21.0 35.0 40.0 47.0

EPS(c) PE Growth
Year Ending 30-03-06 105.4 20.3 67.9%
Year Ending 30-03-07 134.6 15.9 27.7%

The thing is, they are paying a special dividend and capital return, so this means they are not looking to expand by aquisitions this year?

thx

MS
