Key catalyst

Q3 2025 Earnings Release • 2025-10-22

Expected move: +5%

Biggest risk

Worsening credit or sustained NIM pressure forces higher provisions and multiple contraction, driving the stock toward the bear target.

Invalidation

Break below $7 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

NIM expands, credit remains stable, and modest loan growth plus steady dividends lead to EPS upside and multiple expansion toward the bull target.
