Why HOLD ?
- **Hold**: strong capitalisation, solid profitability and attractive dividend profile
- **Wait**: uncertainty around NII and volume growth during a rate-cut cycle
- **Reassess**: after Q1 results for signs of stabilising margins/revenues
- Hold existing position; consider a small add (up to ~10%) after Q1 if NII/volumes hold up.
- Bull case: - **Q1 earnings** could show stabilising revenues and credit quality - **One-off income (VAT refund ~SEK 1.1bn)** boosts Q1 results - **High dividend yield** may support the share price
