NAB - National Australia Bank

Jump to new
NAB shares have soared to their highest level in three-and-a-half years* on Wednesday, rebounding from a small loss in the previous session.

The company’s shares were trading 4.6 per cent higher at $30.23, its highest price since March 2018.

The bank said it was lending more, after working out how to approve mortgage applications quickly and deepening relationships with key business customers.

It beat profit expectations and doubled its final dividend following a strong rebound in performance during the 2021 financial year.

On Wednesday, Macquarie, Morgans, JPMorgan and Citi all upgraded their price targets on the stock.

*of course a bit of capital raise dilution on that raw number

NAB also beat on 1H expectations and announced a share buy-back worth $2.5b commencing this month.

All trading carries risk, but is there scope for the stock put in a new cycle high over the coming days and potentially break the longer-term resistance at $34?

Great news, here is an article on the announcement.

National Australia Bank has reported rising cash earnings and hiked its interim dividend, after chief executive Ross McEwan said the major bank had seen the fastest growth in business lending since the global financial crisis.

NAB on Thursday reported cash earnings of $3.48 billion for the six months to March 31, an increase of 4.1 per cent on the prior period, and shareholders will receive an interim dividend of 73¢ per share, up from 60¢ the prior period.
NAB reported cash earnings had increased across its business bank by 17.5 per cent to $1.4 billion and institutional bank by 3.1 per cent to $806 million, while it had decreased by 8.3 per cent to $788 million in personal banking.
The big four bank increased its provision for bad loans by $2 million, as it braces for the potential impact of higher inflation and interest rates, following moves by the central bank to increase the official cash rate by 25 basis points this week.

NAB, top of 32.66 today at open, low at 31.24, back to 32 at time of my typing.....banks were supported yesterday, today, they are pushing it down..........too hard to loan at higher rates?
 
will certainly cause some potential borrowers pause and re-assess ( which i think is a good thing )

the RBA guidance of hoping for 2.5% rate by December ( so roughly double that for a mortgage ) will worry some ESPECIALLY since other costs , fees and charges are rising as well ( while wages/salaries tend to lag ) , in a difficult to predict manner

HOWEVER that may trigger different issues in say building construction ( less so in home improvements i would think )
 
This market is a bit like my laundry days. The sun was out this morning; looked like it was going to be a good day, so I didn't ask Siri which is what I do every morning. I hung my washing out, it's wetter now than when it come out of the machine...........we don't know when it will pour
 
Had an interesting email from UBank so thought I would do some investigation, it looks like NAB has bought up a techbank platform.

Staff exodus at 86 400 after NAB integration – report

More than 35% of the staff that joined NAB in the deal have left, with some citing culture clash
www.mpamag.com
A large proportion of the staff at 86 400 has left since the digital bank’s $220 million takeover by National Australia Bank. About 50 people have left, with some citing a culture clash.

NAB’s acquisition of the digital bank was completed in May last year, but the staff exodus has continued into 2022, according to a report by The Australian. Sources told the publication that many of the resignations were due to the differences in culture between start-up 86 400 and the large incumbent.

“It’s a very different culture at NAB,” one person, speaking anonymously, told The Australian.
Nearly 140 employees of 86 400 went across to NAB in the acquisition, meaning the departures represent more than 35% of that intake.

86 400 head Robert Bell, whose exit was flagged by NAB, left after the transfer of 86 400’s banking business onto NAB’s licence, The Australian reported. Sources told the publication that 86 400 chief risk officer Guy Harding was also understood to be headed for the door. Head of lending Melissa Christy quit the bank last month to take a similar role at AMP.

Travis Tyler, product and marketing chief at 86 400, left NAB to join ASX-listed Zip, while financial planning and analysis manager Harman Shankar quit to join MA Financial. Andrew Ritchie, engineering manager for 86 400, left NAB last month to join Basiq, an open banking platform.

NAB is integrating 86 400 into its digital arm, UBank, using the start-up’s technology but doing away with its brand, The Australian reported. UBank, which has been filling the gaps left by the 86 400 exodus and growing the combined team, plans to refresh its own brand in the first half of the year.

NAB is currently in bear territory. Down 22% down from the high of $33.75. The froth has been blown off.
(I wonder if they'll do another capital raising at $14.15(ish) at some point in the future ?)

another oxymoron .... Work Culture

NAB says its head of trading sometimes carries a “souvenir bat” when he walks around the trading room, but it was a “fidget toy” and was not carried “in a threatening manner”.

NAB reported a healthy increase in quarterly profit, the share price tanks, situation normal. ?

NAB profits rise, ASX set to fall

NAB posts a rise in quarterly profits, while US stocks end mixed as chipmaker Nvidia warns of a fall in revenue.
www.abc.net.au
From the article:
NAB said its unaudited cash profit rose 6 per cent over the third quarter from the same time a year ago, as it benefited from an increase in home and business loans, as well as higher interest rates.

The big bank said revenue increased by 2 per cent, but the net interest margin was slightly lower overall because of a fall in income from its markets and treasury divisions.

NAB said the benefit of higher interest rates for the bank in terms of higher income was partly offset by home-loan competition and higher funding costs.

NAB and other big banks have passed on in full the Reserve Bank's 1.75 percentage point rise in interest rates since May to home loan borrowers.

The purchase of Citigroup's Australian consumer business also boosted earnings.

Chief executive Ross McEwan described the bank's quarterly performance as "pleasing".

Good afternoon,
Been report via New Corp Media sources:

The Federal Court finds NAB engaged in unconscionable conduct by continuing to charge customers periodic payment fees even though NAB knew the overcharging was occurring, ASIC notes.

ASIC alleged that between February 2015 and February 2019 NAB was charging fees for some periodic payments even though customers were entitled to an exemption and, in some cases, NAB charged a higher fee than it should have.
NAB overcharged 4874 personal banking and 913 business banking customers a total of $365,454 in periodic payment fees.

"The continued charging of incorrect fees to customers when NAB knew it was occurring was concerning as it demonstrated that NAB was promoting its own interests over those of its customers," ASIC Deputy Chair Sarah Court said.
"Disappointingly, it took NAB over two years to switch off the periodic payment fees after becoming aware of the issue."
ASIC’s allegation that NAB falsely represented to customers that it could charge fees for certain periodic payments under the bank’s terms and conditions when it was not entitled to do so was not sustained by the court.

The matter will be listed for a hearing on the scope of any further relief, including penalty, on a date to be fixed.

Have a very nice day, what's left of it.

Kind regards

Good morning
Reported widely today (09/11/22):

NAB has posted an 8 per cent lift in cash earnings for the full year, underpinned by strength in its business and institutional banking divisions. Cash profit jumped to $7.1bn for the 12 months ended September 30, the bank said in an ASX statement on Thursday.

The result was in line with analyst expectations, apparently

The lift in profit was underpinned by volume momentum, the rising interest rate environment and a balanced approach to cost discipline, NAB said. An ongoing focus on strong balance sheet settings had been key to delivering sustainable growth, chief executive Ross McEwan noted.

“This (result) reflects continued execution of our strategy including targeted volume growth and a disciplined approach to managing costs while investing for growth,” Mr McEwan said.

“After 11 years of interest rate reductions, earnings have also benefitted in fiscal 2022 from the rising interest rate environment.”

NAB declared a final dividend of 78c per share, bringing the full-year payout to $1.51 per share, fully franked. That compares to 2021’s full-year dividend of $1.27 per share.

rcw1 is not holding at present.

Kind regards

Nab share prices tanks, profits up, dividends up, but didn't hit what the experts were expecting. ?
Funnily enough, the house prices didn't fall to what the experts were expecting either, so much for the experts eh.?

NAB chief says interest rates near peak; shares plunge on $4.1b profit

NAB boss Ross McEwan has declared that interest rates are close to their peak, house prices have bottomed, and mortgaged households need a period of stability.
www.smh.com.au
National Australia Bank chief executive Ross McEwan says the bank believes house prices have bottomed, citing a shortage of homes for sale at a time of strong demand and underlining the need to boost housing supply.
As NAB reported a 17 per cent jump in its half-year profits to a record $4.1 billion, McEwan said Australia’s housing market had stabilised, and he also believed interest rates were close to their peak.
