Oh you're getting old and cynical W69. You want to deal with a company that treats shareholders like nothing more than a pesky nuisance supplier...get some sum.

Well HNZ at 10 and CNU at 5, I know which has been the better of the two for me and I'll give you a hint its the one without hundreds of vans running around.

Mate I wouldn't mind a little wager that you're a little surprised at Chorus and Spark's performance, I know I am.

Yeah I am but I think Chorus is currently overcooked in the light of the upcoming Con.Con decision, could be a nasty sting yet to come.

Well they certainly "gave it" to Vector and now they're bleating like a lamb lost from its mother so you could be right.

W69 - I'm as miffed as anyone else that HNZ have stopped for a lengthy break at the current juncture but fact is they're inexpensive on a PE basis, pay attractive fully imputed dividends and have relatively low volatility so a patient man is rewarded over time

Fitch raises credit rating on Heartland Bank

28 October 2014

Heartland New Zealand Limited (NZX: HNZ) is pleased to announce that Fitch Rating (Fitch Australia Pty Ltd) has raised its long term issuer credit rating on HNZ subsidiary Heartland Bank Limited (Bank) to ‘BBB’ from ‘BBB-’ outlook stable. The full release from Fitch Rating is attached.

Fitch Rating noted the Bank’s consistent reduction in non-core assets resulting in improved asset quality and stronger earnings, and that its business model focuses on niche markets in which it has a leading market share.

Heartland is pleased with the raised rating, which follows Standard & Poor’s raising the Bank’s credit rating earlier this year (22 May 2014).

lol I'm not that bad...although rumour has it that the local bank manager was seen lugging a keg down the marina walkway early last summer. For some strange reason I can't remember what happened to that keg or how I managed to dock the boat back into the marina after the trip out lol
