HGH - Heartland Group Holdings

[h2so4]

Hi everyone, I'm a first time poster but long time watcher of this thread. I am a kiwi living in Australia whose sons have a joint shareholding in HBL. We are wondering if anyone knows the best way to sell shares from in Australia? We were back in NZ a year or so ago and tried to sell them but they said as we were living in Australia we had to sell them here. Finding it difficult to locate a broker who will deal with NZ shares. Any suggestions?

I live in Australia and would be happy to do a share transfer for the purchase of their shares.. PM me

HBL............9.............10...........11...... ....12.........13.........14.

Thanks Percy I remember seeing it somewhere. Tweaked those forecasted EPS numbers slightly to help my fellow hound gain the scent and get back on the hunt

Somebody pointed out to me that Heartland are getting $20m from shareholders this month and then a week or two paying a dividend worth $18m to shareholders. Seems stupid he said

I told him 'it's not stupid mate - that's how clever big businesses operate'. Don't think he was convinced

(Probably one less shareholder taking up the offer - good eh

No no no .....not Snoopy

The guy who thinks the cap raising is stupid said if they need $20m why don't they just can the divie this time around and keep the cash. Would save a lot of paperwork and bother

Still haven't convinced him about that's how clever businesses work bit .....doubt whether he ever will.

No no no - a clever engineer type I was having a chat with

Hard to explain how something that does seem pretty stupid is actually quite clever though

I guess clever engineers are a bit like those "investors", who drive to Wall Street in a Rolls Royce, to be advised by "advisors" who caught the subway to work.
Yet some very good CEOs have an engineering degree.!
Just as well you and I know HBL are doing the right thing,although it would need me to do a Snoopy book to explain it.And I do not do Snoopy books,or sell them.!
Simply put,HBL understand their shareholders,and act at all times to grow the business. and pay growing fully imputated dividends,while making sure their capital ratios remain capable to fund their growth,without having lazy excess capital.
Always trying to be the best bank.rather than the biggest.
And they are succeeding.

If HBL isn't very very careful it will not only be the best bank but also the biggest bank in NZ

esp if they didn't pay such high divies

If they reinvested divies and consistently made 12% ROE todays shareholder equity of $529m would be $5.1 billion in 20 years time ..... with a market cap of say over $8.0 billion ....share price $16 ....and a big bank

Just mathematics - nothing clever in that - and miles away from reality eh
