Westpac Banking Corp (ADR) (WBK)

CAPS Rating:
***

Provides a broad range of banking and financial services, including retail, commercial and institutional banking and wealth management services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Westpac is not really in the doldrums - and is a reasonable mid to long term play

Nice long term stock with good dividend of approx. 6.5%. Very good stable historical price pattern - generally increasing for past 10 years. This is an Australian bank, unlikely to be impacted much by financial woes in the States. A good buy point as it has dropped nearly 50% from its all time high last year - I believe the recent drop is caused by Westpac bidding to buy another bank for 16 Billion.

One of my favourite banks worldwide. And one of the most spoted by the analysts.
