Key catalyst

FY-2025 / Q4 earnings release and guidance • 2026-04-21

Expected move: -3%

Biggest risk

Deposit outflows, rising provisions, or regulatory headlines compress multiples toward the analyst low, leaving the stock at or below the anchor until clarity returns.

Invalidation

Break below $80 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

MCB re-rates as NIM widens and credit remains stable, pushing valuation toward the analyst high; consistent execution on loan growth and deposit stability is required.

Commentary

Consensus is modestly positive: analyst median near $90 versus the $79.63 anchor implies upside. Coverage is narrow, so small flows can amplify moves. Near-term sentiment will be driven by the next quarter and any deposit or credit headlines; the recent dividend increase supports returns but is a modest price driver.
