Vielleicht bewegt sich der Kurs nach Veröffentlichung der Zahlen und Dividende wieder nach oben.

"Nigeria: GTBank Gets AA Minus By Fitch

Peter Egwuatu - 16 April 2009

GTBank Plc has been noted as one of Nigeria's most profitable institutions following its rating of AA- (double A minus) by Fitch.

The bank had recorded BB- (double B minus) by Standard & Poor's, the best ratings assigned by the two international rating agencies to any Nigerian or West African-based bank.

For the second consecutive year, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc was voted as The Most Customer Focused Bank in Nigeria by KPMG (a global network of professional firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory Services) in its 2009 Banking Industry Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Geared towards assessing and identifying Nigerian Banks with customer driven focus, the survey solicited the opinions of Retail and Corporate customers nationwide using key performance indicators including; financial stability, accessibility to delivery channels, image & reputation, access to credit, pricing of products and customer service delivery.

Based on customer feedback, Guaranty Trust Bank performed exceptionally to emerge the best bank in Retail Banking ahead of nine other banks. The Bank was also adjudged second place in the Corporate/Commercial Banking segment.

Reacting, Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Segun Agbaje stated that the Bank regards the award as "a highly appreciated vote of confidence, as we see our customers as long-term partners that determine our stay in business and justify our continuous efforts to raise the quality and standard of service in the industry."

Prior to this award, Guaranty Trust Bank's tradition of excellent customer service has been widely endorsed by creditable rating agencies and organizations over the years. Most recently, the Bank was adjudged The Most IT-Driven Bank 2008, The Most Customer friendly Bank 2008, The Best Bank in Corporate Governance 2008 and Best Bank in CSR 2008. In 2007, the Bank was awarded the Most Respected Company in Nigeria by Price Waterhouse Coopers.

The bank is also credited with being the first Nigerian Company and first African bank to be listed on the London Stock Exchange and pioneered such innovative e-products as Telephone and Internet banking in 2002, Slip-free banking in 2006, GT Connect in 2006 as well as Drive-Through-Banking and GTBank on wheels in 2007. Similarly, the Bank had earlier entered the history books as the first Nigerian institution since the early 1990s to venture into the international capital markets and raise funds in a Regulation S Eurobond issue with a $350 million Eurobond issue."

"DOUBLE CLUB: A Prada Initiative in partnership with Guaranty Trust Bank: “Creating Dialogue between Western and African lifestyle, music, arts and design”.

Date: Mon, 5th January, 2009 10:03am

The Prada Foundation (founded 15 years ago) recently launched The Double

The foundation has over the years garnered a reputation in world art circles for presenting the projects of many ambitious artists.
The “Double Club” is an African art and Culture initiative situated near the Angel
Tube Station in Islington, North London, UK. It is an installation which consists of three spaces: bar, restaurant and dance
club. The restaurant boasts both African and Western menus, while the decor includes outstanding art works from the West (paintings by Carla Accardi, Olle
Baertling, a relief by Louise Nevelson, an embroidered map by Alighiero Boetti and a silkscreen on paper by Andy Warhol) and from Congo (the stage dress of the guitarist Luambo Makiadi, a.k.a Franco, and paintings by Cheri Samba and Mosengwo Kejwamfi, a.k.a Moke the Painter).
The Double Club is a non-profit organisation and by partnering with the Prada Foundation and Guaranty Trust Bank, a percentage of the proceeds will go to charity. This is one of the primary reasons for which Guaranty Trust Bank
adopted the project.At a series of events to launch this laudable initiative, Miuccia Prada of the Prada luxury label and her husband, Patrizio Bertelli played host to industry leaders from world-class institutions such as JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, White & Case, Standard Bank of London, Schlumberger and Morgan Stanley.
Segun Agbaje, Deputy Managing Director, Guaranty Trust Bank plc, ace
designers Ozwald Boateng, Alexander McQueen and Pat McGrath, awardwinning celebrity make-up artist and global creative design director, Procter and Gamble were all present at the landmark event.
GTBank will also be partnering in a cultural programme to be presented during the opening months of The Double Club. A fund-raising event is also scheduled for February 2009, whilst a book and music compilation documenting the various stages of the project will be published by the Prada Foundation.
In partnering with the Prada Foundation, Guaranty Trust Bank plc is further
cementing its famed interest in supporting the arts whilst making its mark via its UK banking subsidiary.
Mr. Agbaje stated that “in co-sponsoring the Double Club launch, Guaranty Trust
Bank has covered a range of its corporate social responsibility goals.” He further stated that the Bank would continually support humanity and the arts, regardless of location, in line with the Bank’s goal to remain a world-class financial institution.

"Nigeria: GTBank Makes Good Entry Point

Daily Independent - Emele Onu
Lagos, 31st December 2008

Investing in Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) at the prevailing price of about N12 per share will make a good buy.

At a price of N12 per share for instance, it realizes a PE Ratio of 11.54x when related to the second quarter earnings per share (eps) of N1.04. The PE Ratio is even more attractive when the prevailing price region is compared to the projected eps of about N2.50 by the end of the running year.

GTBank holds prospects for shareholders on the strength of the low entry price, the highly positive shareholder ratios as well as the fundamentals that dot the equity.

It generated gross earnings of N57.2 billion for the half year ended August 31, 2008 against N33.0 billion recorded in the corresponding period of last year. Profit before taxation (PBT) rose to N23.0 billion, a 109 percent increase from N11.0 billion it recorded in the corresponding period of 2007. Total Assets plus Contingents grew by 43 percent from N840.4 billion to N1.2 trillion, while shareholders' funds stood at N167.1 billion at review period.

With over 140 business offices in Nigeria and banking subsidiaries in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia and the United Kingdom, the bank has over the years maintained a pre-eminent position as a major player in the Nigerian financial services industry.

With the expected gradual rebound of the market, equities such as GTBank have been placed high on the buy list.

The bank on CAMEL test, a generally accepted tool for rating financial institutions, is sound and so will remain one of the best targets in the Nigerian market.

In the last financial year end to February 29, 2008, it recorded appreciable growth in the key performance indicators, relevant to assessing the banking sector.

The bank's books showed strong capitalization of N160 billion with capital adequacy ratio of 27.5 percent (2007: 18.19 percent), all made up of tier 1 capital.

Its capital adequacy is well above the regulatory minimum of 6 percent. GTBank by that has strong capital position, registering capital adequacy ratios that comply with Basel 2.

Through the right assets mix, GTBank was able to keep yields relatively stable in the past year, in spite of the immense pressure on interest rates in the financial market during the period.

By the improved mix of deposits, cost to interest bearing liabilities of the bank dropped significantly reaching 3.3 percent in 2008 against 3.9 percent the previous year.

GTBank in the past year realised gross earnings of N79 billion, having increased by over a half (62 Percent) compared to the N48 billion it garnered in the comparable period of 2006/2007 financial year.

Profit after tax grew by 60 percent, with the Bank reporting a N21 billion PAT when compared to the N13 billion reported in the corresponding period of the previous year.

Deposit liabilities make the bulk of funding sources of the bank in its role of financial intermediation, presenting 49.6 percent of the funding structure in 2008.

On the whole, the prospect of the bank increases through innovation and creativity. GTBank introduced in the past year alternative banking channels that made banking more convenient for its customers.

It is at present operating e-branch, an innovation targeted at boosting customer accessibility of its various e-banking applications.

There is also GTBank on wheels; a fully operational mobile Guaranty Trust Bank branch designed to take banking to the door steps of customers.

The ability of the Board and management of the bank to consistently sustain good performance has been a selling point for the equity at the Nigerian and offshore markets.

The management however faces the challenge of ensuring that gross and net earnings continuously keep the upbeat trend.

Only by surmounting that challenge can the bank cushion the demerits that often arise from keeping bloated units of shares on issue and also ensure that returns to shareholders are steadily on the upbeat."

"Nigeria: GT Bank, Uba Top CSR Rating

Daily Independent - Emele Onu
Lagos, 4th December 2008

Lagos — Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) and United Bank for Africa (UBA) have emerged the highest performers with a "B" rating and 62 per cent score in the report of the first Nigerian Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assessment.

The report, which assessed the 24 commercial banks in the country, was presented to the media and other financial sector stakeholders on Thursday in Lagos.

It was initiated by SIAO, a professional services firm providing CSR and governance services.

The report was produced by a panel chaired by a representative of the UNICEF, Jonathan Ichaver; which also comprised officials of the National Planning Commission (NPC), the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Simmons Coopers, Fate Foundation, Business Day and Action Aid International.

Nine banks - Access, Stanbic, First Bank, Afribank, FCMB, Intercontinental, Diamond, Finbank, and Eco Bank - got a "C" rating with different scores.

Six banks were rated "D".

Another six - Sterling, ETB, Fidelity, Unity, Citi Bank, Spring Bank, Bank PHB - got the least rating of "E".

Some banks in the last group had the grade due to inadequate record of their CSR activities.

Ichaver explained that the panel did quantitative data analysis and compiled rating scores from data obtained from, among others, annual and environmental reports, press releases, websites, industry-specific news sources, and interviews.

SIAO Managing Partner, Robert Ade-Odiachi, said the CSR Index and ratings seek to incorporate global best practices into the Nigerian business environment.

"CSR activities should portray the organisation's ethical behaviour, transparency, awareness of environmental issues, commitment to its operating communities and commitment to the welfare of its work force," he added.

The essence of the rating is to commit organisations to CSR activities and encourage healthy competition."

Mit den Vergleich hast Du natürlich vollkommen recht!
Es ist aber schon ärgerlich, denn bei den Umsatz- und Gewinnsteigerungen von GTB, könnten wir schon bei gut 20€ stehen...

[Steigerwälder]

Ich hab die Aktie jetzt seit über einem Jahr und muss sagen, dass ich mit der Entwicklung im großen und ganzen zufrieden bin.
Die Fundamentaldaten vor allem das Wachstum können überzeugen. Die 40 % Miese sind zwar nicht schön, aber in einem Umfeld wo eine RBSC 95% eine Citigroup über 90% und eine Deutsche Bank 80% verliert ist das schon eine beachtliche Relative Stärke. Davon kann sich der Investor zwar nix kaufen, erfahrungemäß erholen sich solche Titel aber im Aufschwung überproportional.

Kann man wirklich nur spekulieren!
Aber ich tendiere auch eher dazu, dass hier jemand SL-Verkäufe auslösen möchte.
