I believe the CBA result was widely anticipated and did not disappoint.
The dividend of $1.20 (+6%) was well below the profit increase and the payout ratio at 63% was below the more normal 65-72% normally expected. One reason may be the large growth in Home Loans (5-8% system, mabye 9-13% for CBA), but a Tier 1 of 9% and then 9.6-9.8% by June 30 implies room for a $1-2bn acquisition without equity issuance, and up to $4-5bn without strain (DRP, SPP, Insto placement).
At that level IFL (IOOF) at $1.5bn may achieve further movement in wealth (unlikely ACCC consequence), leaving AMP as a must acquire for ANZ (likely at $7.50-8.75) which would be dilutive, but at least keep them in step here.
I think Challenger is less likely for all.
