Hardman Research: Big special dividend, accelerated
investment
Big special dividend, accelerated investment: In its recent
trading statement Arbuthnot Banking Group (ABG) advised it would
make a special dividend of 300p per share (cost GBP45m) in Q416
against our forecast 150p. Additionally, it has accelerated its
expansion into commercial banking and expects to hire six
additional experienced staff early in 2017 as well as opening a
Manchester office. It also advised that Q316 drawdowns had been a
little slower than expected. The overall effect is to see a
reduction in 2016/2017 earnings estimates, primarily from higher
investment costs, while 2018 is broadly unchanged with the new
staff starting to deliver greater business growth.
