ABIX via COMTEX) -- David Murray, the CEO of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), appears to have won back many supporters. Following the bank's $A1.2bn December 2001 half profit announcement on 13 February 2002, shares in CBA added another $A0.80 to close at $A33.64 on 14 February. Thanks to the profit result, broking firm, Salomon Smith Barney, gave CBA an "outperform" recommendation and forecast growth of 10 in earnings per share for 2001-02, to almost $A2.5bn. Meanwhile, JP Morgan has given CBA a "buy" recommendation, despite the market view that the result was of "weak" quality.
