BEN –0.38%: The regional bank's FY26 result landed broadly where the market expected, with improving margins and deposit funding helping cash earnings grind higher.
BEN –2.18%: Delivered a solid first-half result, with net income rising despite ongoing cost pressures and elevated investment requirements across compliance and strategic initiatives. The key positive was a modest improvement in margin, helping support higher net interest income in a competitive banking environment.
Unlike the other miners looked at today copper producer SFR has rallied over recent years and is now looking tired around its all-time high. Regional bank BEN has started to look interesting recently, ably supported by its 5% fully franked yield.
BEN +0.76%: Reported an in line 3Q result, though lacked meaningful quarter-on-quarter growth due lower non-interest income down -13.6% on 2Q.
BEN isn't set to report until August, so investors are left with the poor February result in their minds, which saw a large miss on NIM, very different from BOQ yesterday; this key metric for BEN declined six basis points (0.06%) half-over-half to 1.88%.
This morning, we quickly updated our stance/position on some of Shawn’s Trading Ideas. We now have four open positions, more than we envisaged when we started the new addition to the MM service following demand in our most recent subscriber survey.
We highlighted a trade in BEN at $12.48, targeting a quick move towards $13; this has already been exceeded. The mooted $350 million annual levy to keep bank branches open in the bush gave BEN a nice “shot in the arm.”
BEN has broken out above $13; as we all know, “the trend is your friend”. Shawn Trading Ideas: Raise BEN stop from $12.38 to $12.66.
BEN rallied through the day while the rest of the banking sector struggled; even stalwart CBA was down 1.4%. We can thank the government for today's move.
MM flagged BEN in Shawn’s Trading Ideas this week below $12.50; hence, it was nice to see it close higher in a weak market on Wednesday. Although one day is far from confirmation, it's on track to test our short term $13 target.

Founded in 1858 as the Bendigo Building Society as a leading regional bank operating in the consumer, small-business, and rural banking sectors, Bendigo gained public goodwill after rolling out branches in locations deserted by major banksin the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Adelaide Bank merger in 2007 diversified the bank into wholesale banking, while expanding the geographical footprint. It is a conservatively managed retail bank with a long history, a well-regarded retail franchise, and high levels of customer and shareholder loyalty.
