Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?


You sure have.. the banks are doing very well, and looking strong in my opionion for the comming months with a predicting interest rate rise.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day hypnotic,

I have been locking in some profits on the banks because they usually drop on a rate rise.....I don't like to see good profits slip away & if they keep rising, I can always buy back in & miss a little bit.

This is an interesting situation as ANZ, SGB, NAB & WBC all report prior to the RBA's announcement on the 8th November, then go exdiv after that date, so there could be some volatility, & I am hoping to re-enter on a low day. ANZ goes exdiv on the 9th November.

Investment 70.0/share
Estimated distribution announcement expected around 18th December.
exdist expected 21st December, last years dist was 7.6/unit, zero franked
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?


Yeah they have been great. (better if i had bought in : )

Can i ask why they drop on a rate rise? I am relatively new to this, is there a particular reason? Or they just historically how the market reacts?

I like to hear your view on the volatility, you'll expect them to drop dramatically after the 9th?

Keep up with the good work. Enjoy reading your posts.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Hypnotic,

Usually (but not always) a share will drop when it goes ex dividend by roughly the amount of the dividend. The reason is obvious. If you buy it cum dividend (before the ex-div date) you will be paid the dividend but if you buy it after the ex-div date then you will not receive that dividend amount.
So if a share's dividend is 10c per share it's fairly common for the stock to drop that much on going ex-dividend.

Hope that helps.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?


Hi Julia,

Thanks for your response, you might have misinterpreted my question, i was asking why roz was saying share prices of banks will usually drop after a RATE RISE. Or is it that the sharemarket usually drops after a rate rise?? But i would have thought banks would go up?
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Generally the banks drop on a rate rise as it is expected that they will have less new customers borrowing. They will be paying a higher rate for their cash too, however, it is usually just a kneejerk reaction that may last a few days or so.....maybe a few weeks, then start rising again.

This is my opinion only, so expect the unexpected.

I sold most of my bank stocks on Thursday & Friday at high prices, including those held in CFDs, but I am hoping to re-enter on Monday at prices 40 or 50 cents lower after the DOW took a drop on Friday. I think all the banks will have good reports this week, so then the plan is to sell again prior to the RBA announcement........sounds okay in theory, but we will see what happens.....I may be way off course.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

I have been uncertain as to how the banks will behave tomorrow when the RBA raises the rate, so near the close today I unloaded a bit. Once I have an idea which way they will go tomorrow, I will possibly buy back in at the best price I can get. I might lose a little, but I hate losing what I already have if it goes the wrong way.

Sold SGB today @ 3357.0
Bought 17th October @ 3193.0 with a margin of 75%
Investment 798.25/share
Dividend announcement 1st November, exdiv 29th November.

Also sold CBA, SGB today & NAB yesterday in CFD account....returns on investment are mind boggling with such high leverage (97%)
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

It was a bit of a wasted exercise selling SGB & NAB yesterday as the rate announcement had little effect. I managed to re-enter NAB on the close today. Plenty of time for SGB.

Bought NAB today @ 4020.0 with a margin of 75%
Investment 1005.0/share
Exdiv 10th November, dividend 84.0/share 90% franked 32.4/share

Also re-entered NAB in cfd account.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

Yeah seems like the only bank that went down today was CBA.

Seemed like the market must have factored their buying already as the market probably had a relatively good idea that the rates were going to rise. *shrugs*.

ANZ looks very strong, when is that bull going to stop??

Good luck with the banks roz.. and thanks for the reply.
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

IMO, I think ANZ is really overbought, but I have yet to go short because my last short was on NAB, and that didn't go very well. rozella, would you short any banks atm?
 
Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

I placed 2 orders for SGB yesterday @ 3325.0 as I would be out at open today.....both were filled at different times today....2 separate accounts.

Bought SGB today @ 3325.0 with a margin of 75%
Investment 831.25/share
Exdiv 29th November, dividend 77.0/share fully franked 33.0/share

G'day scsl

IMO, I think ANZ is really overbought, but I have yet to go short because my last short was on NAB, and that didn't go very well. rozella, would you short any banks atm?
Click to expand...
I have not done any shorting for a few years as it does not fit my dividend trading strategy, but I agree, the banks are very pricey atm.

I always allow a drop on exdiv day of dividend + franking credit, & in the case of ANZ, this would be 69.0 + 29.57 = 98.57/share. ANZ went exdiv today & is down 118.0 atm. I just bought 1000 @ 2890.0 to ride the price back hopefully. So I am still buying the banks. I also just bought 2 parcels of SGB & also CBA & SGB in CFDs today......but I have my finger on the trigger.

All the banks are down except WBC & I have another order in that too in the CFD account. MBL reports next Tuesday.....that will be an interesting one, but the dividend is usually very poor, but may be a trade between now & the report.
