Bendigo Keeps Bear Despite Quarterly Beat -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 13

0256 GMT - Bendigo and Adelaide Bank's better-than-expected trading update isn't enough to shake off its bear at Morgan Stanley. The Australian lender's quarterly pre-provision profit beat analyst Andrei Stadnik's estimate by about 6%, while costs were lower than he had anticipated. He sees the performance improving confidence in the regional lender's near-term earnings outlook, but warns the operating environment remains uncertain. He adds that Bendigo's EPS growth profile is lower than its peers, and sees plenty of execution risk around its productivity program. MS raises its target price by 4.1% to A$10.10 and keeps an underweight recommendation on the stock, which is down 0.9% at A$11.39. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
