these are just historic PE'S 11x v 17x.

BNB has forecasted eps to grow by at least 30%, whilst MBL has not given any guidance although the quarter ending 30 june07 was 60% higher than last yr.

With the ALINTA bid successful, BNB is on its way to achieving the profit guidance and is less risky than MBL. It has continued to make acquisitions in the last week, despite the credit squeeze.
