Broker Call: NAB Review 2/4/2009

BrokerCall, Thursday, 2 April 2009

NAB - NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK LIMITED

RBS Australia rates NAB as Sell - Throughout the March rally, the broker has stoically maintained FY10 earnings remain at serious risk. Its sector call remains at Underweight.

Now that we've arrived in April, and bank shares seem unwilling to come back more than just a little, RBA analysts have done the inevitable: they have started downgrading bank stocks.

Among the top four banks in Australia National is the only one that did not receive a recommendation downgrade. Guess why?

Target price is $14.97 Current Price is $20.32 Difference:($5.35) - (brackets indicate current price is over target). If NAB meets the RBS Australia target it will return approximately - 26% (excluding dividends, fees and charges - negative figures indicate an expected loss).

The company's fiscal year ends in September. RBS Australia forecasts a full year FY09 dividend of 145.00 cents and EPS of 213.30 cents . At the last closing share price the estimated dividend yield is 7.14%. At the last closing share price the stock's estimated Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) is 9.53.
