Beagle, you know that in the long run this buyback won’t make one iota of difference to MET’s fundamentals
But in the short term the directors saying its good, share price doesn’t recognise the value in the company, it’s eps accretive blah blah blah the market get excited
Good stuff for short to medium term punters who’ll take a punt ..and hope for the best.
I can’t see you being a long term holder of MET so good on you having a go to make a buck while verybody is so excited ...but watch that chart

I don't have any issues with it and in this case its clearly going to be eps accretive as the share price is still trading at a substantial discount to NTA and the forward PE is very cheap. This is ostensibly a property company trading at a very deep discount to a relatively easy measure of value to objectively quantify, (its net tangible asset backing that's valued every year by independent valuers).
Where buy-backs for some other companies get a bit murky is where the value of a company is not so easily and objectively quantifiable, i.e. where the majority of the value is made up of intangible assets.
Anyway...back to real estate...looks like the sleeping giant that is Auckland real estate is waking up which is great for MET as they have most of their villages there

Hi Beagle,
I know you prefer the medium which is looking positive and that's great but I think it's worth pointing out the HPI chart still looks very flat for Auckland, prices in the city have only increased 6.7% over the past 5 years. Rest of the country marching on relentlessly though.

The 6.7% is compounding growth rate ...ie 6.7% per year ...not too shabby

Worth noting that despite that underlying profit has basically doubled in the last 5 years from $46.0m to $90.5m, (average compound growth rate of 15% per annum), as to and embedded value at FY19 balance date is up to a whopping $281,000 per unit which gives a big clue as to future profit growth.

Are MET another one of these operators who make no money from looking after oldies, ie it’s just a development company

MET underlying EPS about the same as SUM
But share price about 30% lower
WOW that’s some gap

MET had been one that was top of our list back at the brokers coz of the high book value.
eps down significantly as shown here. whats that all about
Attachment 10848
NPAT shown here
Attachment 10849
I guess I've missed something coz to me this looks bad.
Is this proving what someone else said recently (W69?) that its all in the property gains rather than caring for the old folk.
For clarity, nothing I say is advice....
