Bull case
Strong Q2 report with record-high commission income and continued share buybacks provide positive momentum.
Bear case
The rate-cutting cycle pressures net interest income and may limit earnings growth going forward.
Sensitivity analysis
| Factor | If it weakens | If it strengthens |
|---|---|---|
| Net interest income | Lower-than-expected net interest income → reduced earnings growth and lower dividend capacity. | Higher-than-expected net interest income → improved profitability and room for increased buybacks. |
| Fee income | Weaker fee income → lower total revenues and pressured ROE. | Stronger fee income → offsets net interest income pressure and supports earnings. |
