Their cost of feed went up. The De costi acquisition lead to a significant rally, and for me it is hard to see that the acq premium was definitely worth it ATM. Also wholesale ops seemed to have a very ordinary half. The growth rate of bio assets did slow from about 18% to 12%.
Also why weren't the earnings broken down between DECosti and the previous wholesale business. Possibly it is nothing to crow about - at this stage anyway.
I suspect the market may want to take back some of the synergy value for De Costi. Not saying it was a bad idea - but to acquire you usually have to share the synergy value with the vendor a bit.
Saying that - those JPM forecasts v actual is definitely giving me pause for thought.

didn't like the timing of that gap down against the end of the earnings call - which I missed most of due to a !@#!ing computer failure. I'm out either way.
