Chris Lee's take on Heartland, (emphasis added in bold by myself)
If they do pay a fully imputed dividend of 7 cps next year the dividend hound in me calculates that at a gross distribution of 9.72 cents, (7/.72) and based on an ex divvy price of 91.5 cents (95-3.5cps divvy due shortly), investors are looking at a gross return of 10.62% :)...with more growth in the years following given reasonable trading conditions and that ladies and gentlemen is the power of investing in a N.Z. owned bank with full imputation credits. Begs the question of why bother backing Australian owned banks doesn't it !! Did I add enough emphasis to those superior interest rate margins above :)
