Thanks. Appreciate it.

There are 3 reasons but in no particular order;

1) Short interest remain.

2) Financials in general have lost ground.

3) BOFI and H&R Block have a business relationship and the current administration wants to simplify tax filing requirements which would hurt tax filing service business' such as H&R Block. *I support the administration's goals despite the effect it has on my BOFI position.

Pretty amazing run for our banks lately, it was due with a 0.25% rate hike, LOL

Regulations for the local/small/mid tier banks should see big relief and that's where I have my chips stacked for a long time already and continue to see great potential!

Why Closing Bank Branches Isn’t Always a Road to Riches (11/29/16)

A new Bain & Co. study suggests that branch closures could actually make things worse for banks in the future

By Telis Demos

One of banks’ favorite cost-cutting strategies in recent years has been closing branches. But a new study suggests the approach may soon backfire.

With mobile phones now able to provide virtually all of the services of a branch at a fraction of the cost, banks have cut their costs massively by shuttering physical locations and moving customers to apps, relieving some of the pressure of low interest rates, new competition, and slowing loan growth.

A new Bain & Co. study however suggests that branch closures could actually make things worse for banks in the future. Most customers who want to do mobile banking are already doing so. And moving remaining branch customers to mobile could further imperil the cross-selling model that is already under regulatory scrutiny.

Many customers who rely on a branch now often use the closing of one as an opportunity to switch banks, Bain found. Even customers who do make the move to mobile are less loyal, doing more shopping around for loans, cards, and other services. That leaves banks stuck with the expense of maintaining checking accounts, but fewer of the benefits of other, more profitable products.

“It’s a scary time for banks,” said Gerard du Toit, who leads consulting for banks in the Americas financial services practice at Bain. “They run the risk of being the dumb regulated utility with all of the costs, while all the high-margin juicy stuff is hollowed out.”

Already the number of branches has been shrinking for several years, driven by a need to cut costs.

But the U.S. remains over-branched, many argue, with about 32 bank branches per 100,000 adults, higher than the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, average of 24, according to a recent report by Autonomous Research. Bringing the U.S. branch density closer to what it is in parts of Europe would save some $11 billion a year for the 25 largest U.S. banks, not including saving money on rent or selling buildings, Bain said.

Some argue that the advent of mobile apps make branch closures possible in a way banks’ websites, which they have offered for years, did not. Mobile devices are with customers at all times, and cameras can do things like snap pictures to deposit checks, while thumbprints scanners can identify customers almost as readily as in person.

But Bain says growth of mobile usage has plateaued, suggesting that people who naturally migrated, like millennials, have already done so—with only the most branch-tied customers left to convert. The percentage of bank customers using their bank’s app leapt from 32% in 2012 to 52% in 2015, Bain found. But it inched up to just 55% this year.

Now, closing branches runs the risk that customers just move to another bank with a nearby branch, rather than migrate to mobile. About 40% of customers whose main branch closed in the last 12 months either switched banks or started new products with other banks, Bain found.

And, even more troubling for banks, mobile customers who stick with their bank appear to be worse customers, because it becomes easier to switch from one app to another for different services. In 2016, U.S. consumers were almost twice as likely to have used a competing bank than their primary bank for their most recent digital financial product.

Many financial technology upstarts such as lender Social Finance Inc. and investment manager Betterment Holdings Inc., alongside established firms such as Capital One Financial Corp., have also raced into the mobile realm as a way to entice other firms’ customers to take out new cards, loans, or investment accounts.

H&R Block Sees Loss Widen

H&R Block Inc. on Tuesday reported weaker-than-expected results for its latest quarter as the tax-service provider said it had fewer customers in the U.S. and suffered from currency woes.

Shares of H&R Block, down 30% this year, fell 5.6% to $22.85 in after-hours trading. The company noted that, because of the seasonal nature of its business, its fiscal first quarter is not indicative of full-year results.

"The fiscal first quarter typically represents less than 5% of annual revenues and less than 15% of annual expenses," the company said in a statement.

Still, H&R Block missed Wall Street expectations amid changes to the company's balance sheets after the sale of its bank business to a unit of BofI Holding Inc. The move resulted in the reclassification of certain revenue and the loss of some investment income.

Under the agreement, BofI Federal Bank would act as the bank for H&R Block-branded financial-services products, such as lines of credit and prepaid debit cards. H&R Block also sold securities related to the bank.

In April, H&R Block said it was laying off 250 workers during a disappointing tax season. H&R Block said it handled 5.8% fewer U.S. tax returns in the most recent tax season and planned to restructure operations, including laying off nearly 13% of its workforce.

For the period ended July 31, H&R Block reported a loss of $123.7 million, or 56 cents a share, wider than its loss of $99.7 million, or 36 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding items, adjusted per-share earnings sank to a loss of 55 cents from a loss of 35 cents a year ago.

Revenue fell 9.1% to $125 million.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected per-share loss of 53 cents and revenue of $133 million.

BofI Holding, Inc. Eating Short-Sellers' Lunch With Another Huge Quarter

April 29, 2016, 10:21:39 AM EDT

BofI Holding reported third-quarter financial results on April 28, and it was another huge growth period for the bank, even in the face of an unyielding and continuing attack on the company from short sellers. Income from both net interest and fees was up, earnings per share increased 65%, and the company initiated a $100 million share repurchase program as its stock price remains beaten-down in the wake of continuing short-seller attacks on the company's credibility and loan activities.

Let's peel back the layers on the company's financial results. It may not answer all of the questions raised by short-sellers (most of which are decidedly dubious and only meant to create fear and uncertainty) but it will give you a better understanding of how the company is growing and where its financial results are coming from, and some clarity on how much risk its loan portfolio really entails. (Hint: much less than short-sellers would have you think).

BofI Holding, Inc. Issues Statement Regarding Share Price Volatility (4/18/16)

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BofI Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOFI) (“the Company”), parent of BofI Federal Bank, provided comments on recent volatility in its stock price. The Company continues to be the target of anonymous short-seller hit pieces designed to manipulate the market in a veiled effort to benefit themselves at the expense of BofI’s shareholders. Upon a closer examination, these anonymous pieces are based on speculation, innuendo, and outright misrepresentations. The latest hit piece, posted on a blog, claims that a “recent” lawsuit raised new allegations against BofI. In fact, this lawsuit is old news. Back on October 15, 2015, known “repeat player” strike suit attorneys filed a securities class action against BofI. An amendment to this old lawsuit has now been filed. After months of harassing our ex-employees, the lawyers’ amendment fails to raise any credible or systemic problems at BofI.

The amendment adds some unsubstantiated stories from “confidential” ex-employees mostly criticizing and complaining about the alleged lack of manners of their managers. The amended complaint also incorporates the anonymous blog posts of admitted short sellers, referring to them as “articles”, as if they were factual and unbiased. Just like the initial complaint, the amended complaint is riddled with numerous and material factual inaccuracies, erroneous conclusions, and mistaken applications of legal standards, which will be addressed in court.

What the anonymous short-sellers and the strike suit attorneys fail to highlight is that BofI, like other banks, is regularly examined by its federal regulators, external auditors, and internal auditors. The absence of public enforcement actions highlight how disconnected these allegations are from the reality of BofI’s highly compliant and top-performing business.

Additionally, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors engaged one of the largest law firms in the world to conduct an independent investigation to determine whether there is support for the factual allegations and the conclusions contained in the employment action that formed the basis for the initial class action. After an extensive investigation, the outside law firm advised the Audit Committee that, based on its investigation, it found no support for the conclusions in the employment complaint that the Bank or management engaged in wrongdoing or acts of fraud or impropriety.

Moreover, BofI’s continued best-in-class asset quality metrics, including industry leading charge-off ratios, and low non-accrual loans are indicative of BofI’s strong underwriting standards.

BofI will vigorously defend itself and will continue to focus on delivering positive earnings growth and maintaining our strong regulatory relationships and risk-focused culture.
