Why HOLD ?

- **Hold** given the mix of **strong capitalization** and a **high dividend profile** - Near-term upside is limited by **margin/NII pressure** as policy rates fall - **Regulatory overhang (FSA AML/KYC)** can drive volatility until outcomes are known

Hold; consider increasing 10–20% if Q1 shows less NII pressure than expected or clearer improvement guidance.
Bull case: - **Q1 earnings (29 Apr)** could show more resilient NII than feared - **High dividend** supports total return and attracts income investors - **DOJ probe reportedly closed** reduces a prior tail risk
