Says it has been the best performing stock in the sector over the last year and is now trading at a slight premium to its competitors. Lifts the price target to 740p from 720p. Still believes in the long-term growth potential for the group but sees some headwinds in FY '11. Also, thinks the end to its cost savings program will likely mean that other industry players have a chance to shine in the short to medium term. Says after its strong run, the market requires further visibility about the next leg of growth. Shares are -0.4% at 742p.
