BOQ – Algo Sell Signal

Bank of Queensland announced 1H19 cash earnings of $167m which is below the downgraded guidance the company provided in February and 8% below the same time last year.

The result continues to highlight the struggles the regional banks have in the current environment.

An interim dividend of $0.34 was declared, which is a reduction from 2018 levels.

The chart below shows the Algo Engine sell signals in BOQ, starting in early 2018 at $13.00. BOQ now trades sub $9.00 and is likely to continue lower.

 

Bendigo Bank – 1H19

Bendigo reported earnings slightly below market consensus.

1H19 cash profit came in at $220m, however, we continue to see challenging conditions for the regional banks.

BEN and BOQ both display lower high formations and are under Algo Engine sell signals.

 

AGM Reflects Headwinds For Bank of Queensland

Our ALGO engine has shown a sell signal for BOQ since August 31st at $11.50.

The share price got a boost at yesterday’s AGM trading up to $11.35 just after the FY18 NPAT data was released.

However, as the trading day progressed, the lower margins on the current loan book combined with large software write offs pressured the share price back below $11.00.

We still prefer the short side of BOQ with a downside target of $9.60.
