Bank of Queensland Limited (ASX: BOQ) opened down 0.48% today at $12.46 only slightly off its 2018 calendar year high of $12.77 on January 5.
BOQ is a retail-banking, finance and insurance entity with a strong franchiser system and 109 owner-managed branches across Australia.
BOQ has been focused on growing its loans sector in recent times with announcements about sharp discounts offered on its interest-only investment loan products expected to generate interest in the short term, as peer Suncorp Group Ltd (ASX: SUN) took a similar tack.
BOQ raised $350 million from its Capital Notes offer in late 2017 after strong investor demand for the offer saw it increase from $325 million which saw share prices take a slight rally before sliding down to a January low of $12.28.
BOQ will not release any results this reporting season, with shareholders holding out for half-year results and interim dividend announcements in early April and dividend payments in May.
Shareholders kept happy by solid franked dividends will likely hold for the moment.
