Final price at market close today is $1.10 which is somewhat disappointing. Perhaps indicative of a lack of trust, and that post settlement outcomes are anticipated to be less rosy than predicted?
A bit of water to flow under the bridge before Challenger is safely acquired and the transaction events intended are finalised, so we can wait and see what the market thinks during the rest of the month and early in May.
Did someone say this was a Two Buck share a while back ? ;)
The Board seem to have an uncanny knack of putting their foot in any meaningful
term upwards in the SP towards where many self respecting banks are usually priced :)
hasnt been that great of an investment for cap gain , was good as a income stock but that appears to have dis-appeared as well now unless challenger turns into a roaring success. but that will take time. in the mean time the cut in div payout to under 50% of npat implies this may not be a income stock again for a while.
Putting on my cynical hat as I seem to do these days, A reverse pyramid investment. The institutional placement had already eroded our investment but, if past results have shown, we are being asked to add yet more capital for the possibility/probability to expand our capital losses, and to get a reduced dividend. I must learn a new mantra:Australia will be different for this NZ company.
Sell side building… be interesting to see where it gets to?..
