Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The combination of NIM expansion to 3.44%, PPNR above 2%, and ROE above 15% suggests resilient profitability, potentially supporting multiple expansion. The 11% growth in loans/deposits and dividend declarations provide near-term catalysts; negative QoQ net income could temper enthusiasm, making guidance crucial.
