Rating:61Neutral

8.50 p
▼(-8.11% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/24/26
The score is driven primarily by mid-range financial performance (recovery and improved leverage, but low margins/returns and volatile cash flow) and moderately positive technical momentum. Valuation is held back by a high P/E despite an attractive dividend yield, while recent corporate events are modestly positive.
Positive Factors
Revenue recovery
Revenue growth has returned over two consecutive years after the loss-making period, indicating improving client activity and demand for the group’s advisory and capital-markets services. Continued recovery could rebuild operating scale and support stronger earnings if growth persists.
Negative Factors
Thin profitability
Very low net margins and return on equity leave limited protection if revenues weaken or costs rise. The group therefore has little earnings cushion, and even a moderate deterioration in corporate-finance or trading activity could materially reduce profitability.
