Why HOLD ?

- **Hold:** Stable, well-capitalised bank with attractive capital returns - **Limited near-term upside:** Q1 likely includes known restructuring charges and rate-driven NII pressure - **Re-rate trigger:** Evidence of NII stabilisation and delivery on cost savings

Hold; consider adding after the Q1 reaction if ROE stays ~15%+ and NII stabilises.
Bull case: - **Q1 report (22 Apr 2026)** could show resilient volumes and net interest income (NII) - **Share buybacks** provide ongoing technical support to the stock - **Strong capital position (CET1)** supports continued capital returns
