HGH - Heartland Group Holdings

[Rawz]

If i recall correctly, the reverse mortgages are relatively very low risk with the average reverse mortgage being a very low balance vs the value of the property.

The main immediate advantage of the Challenger bank acquisition is all those reverse mortgages being written in OZ have had the cost of funding significantly reduced by a couple hundred basis points.

yes thats all true but HGH have other loan books; car loans, asset finance, livestock finance etc

True. Reverse mortgages made up almost 40% of the loan book as of last earnings back in Feb.

The market is what it is but it is interesting that all those selling just now are intent upon crystalising a loss, even if they acquired for the basic $1 during the capital raise, which in turn supposedly had a margin baked in for those who participated.

I can't fathom what has really changed in the relatively short interval since that event occurred and the acquisition transaction settled that would/should drive sentiment in that way. Surely it is just a matter of patience. Is there a clearly better opportunity to deploy capital on the NZX presently and if so pray tell me where.

this is the problem with the cap raise it completely sucks demand out of the HGH universe. Everyone has had their feed. So when there are unfortunate sellers that have many reasons to sell its just the basic demand vs supply equation working its self out imo.

There is nothing to do but be patient and hold. Holders can rest easy knowing HGH will one day trade again at 1.2-1.5x book value as sure as the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

The only better value out there (with strong balance sheets not dealing with debt problems) is probably TWR or 2CC, or if looking over on the ASX, FND

Alokdhir ……..how many years away is a healthy economy …not just marginally improving but say GDP 3%/4% consistently

2040 according to Luxon today in his pre-Budget speech.

Luxon said that in 2040, New Zealanders would have a “more dynamic and productive economy” where New Zealanders returned from overseas, rather than leave; better public services, and a “comprehensive response to climate change, both on track to achieve our ambitious emissions targets, and resilient to the challenges of a more volatile world”.
