Q: Hi Peter, Can you provide me your updated thoughts on Olympia. The growth has been outstanding and it pays a 7% yield. Do you think they can grow the dividend. Also any comments on the management would be appreciated - I haven't heard much about them but they keep delivering.

Thanks

5i Research Answer:

OLY’s earnings are quite sensitive to the movement of interest rates, with rates coming down, earnings could be under pressure in the near term. This sensitivity to interest rates is inherent and quite common among financial companies. In the near term, OLY’s earnings could face a headwind due to a decrease in rate and, therefore, limited prospect of significant dividend growth. That being said, OLY has done really well over the last interest rate cycle. Also, the company’s service revenue is more predictable. This is an inherent risk of investing in financial companies. OLY is a small cap and quite under the radar to most investors, but its management track record is really impressive, we like the name here and would be comfortable to hold over the long term.
