Cadence Capital
In a recession scenario, bank earnings and dividends would come under pressure, however, we believe a recession is unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future. Within the sector, bank P/Es are trading in a wide range (between 10 – 14x earnings) reflecting some company specific earnings risk for the cheaper banks (e.g. Asian exposure risk for ANZ Bank). The mortgage-focused banks such as Westpac, Commonwealth Bank and Bank of Queensland look good at the moment with P/Es that are attractive combined with a favorable business mix.
