BEN - Bendigo Bank

Jump to new
Have exited today on the swelling (small loss + brokerage loss), decided against it for now after hearing around 60% of loan originations are in Victoria and in my opinion, we haven't even got to loan deliquancy stage yet.
Most who have had loans called, were already heading that way.
RBA expected to cut rates, further squeeze on profits, loans will pick up over time though.
Will keep an eye on the situation, but, not for at the moment.
 
BEN released an excellent financial record with everything towards north excepting market pushed the SP dived down south.
Could not understand why as the metrics shown were impressive.
Only down fall would be the dilution of share capital with Ferocia acquisition. But I felt with escrow, it was an opportunity.
Let me hear from the experts however.
 
i wouldn't call myself an expert , the BEN results looked OK to me

plenty of uncertainty to come but that is where we are currently , and not a lot that BEN can do about that without a merger( take-over target on it's bank )

mine owe me $7.13 , so am not inspired to buy ( more ) or sell

there is usually some 'insider gossip' about the second tier banks merging but that hasn't happened in the last 5 years , so might not happen this year either
 
well MYS has been hungry for years since they grabbed The Rock , but who is small enough for them to buy ( ABA might cause ACCC issues )

somebody claimed BOQ was trying for a jaw-dropper but bought ME and let's face it , they have continued to be a little disappointing maybe they should put a brake on the revolving door on the boardroom , first

a complete left-field would be WES jumping into this sector they have expressed the desire in the past , but didn't grab GMY ( or whatever it is now ) , surely they wouldn't take over BOQ , BOQ needs work but above $8 doesn't sound like WES
 
I don't own Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, and they haven't been on my watchlists for quite a while, but what made me start thinking about BEN, and prompted my earlier response, was that they recently started advertising on NSW television touting themselves as one of the big 5.

That might not be so unusual, but I've been back in NSW for 2 or 3 years now, and I've never seen them advertise like this on television before. Maybe it is just that I don't watch enough television ...

I got into ben as well three of the big 4 nab anz wbc during the lows last year so the current dividends are a very healthy rates of return with a large margin of safety. So if ben keeps plodding away making tidy profits i will stay a happy camper.
 
by $ value

my bank stocks are

1. MQG

2. BOQ

3. VUK

4. SUN

5. ABA

6. BEN

7. MYS

8. WBC ( a very small amount of DRP shares after i sold WBC ex-div. )

with MQG being more than the rest of the 'banks' combined

i also have exposure ( of the major banks ) via various LICs and ETFs

cheers
 
Where is CBA and NAB
 
A reliable dividend-paying stock for the lazy investor, this plodder. BEN is never gonna shoot the lights out, unless there is a merger out there, somewhere.
That was a big whack to the S.P. today on huge volume. Some big holder must be upset about something...what's wrong with the result, though ? Cost to income ratio...a bit steep at 60%. Not much else to moan about, so I'll keep holding.
 
I bought at $9.92. Surely can only go up from there

They seem pretty switched on, positive customer reviews, streamlining of digital services can will lead to greater efficiencies. The acquisition of Ferocia with it's 'Up' app seems like a good thing.

am up 35% on my purchase price , could be worse ( BOQ up 13% despite the extra effort , ) but not as good as MYS , up 60% or MQG up 625%

very much a game of timing your buying , and picking the better banker

DYOR

( but am NOT unhappy with BEN just the same )
