Context and risks
The company has high exposure to interest rates (Net Debt/EBITDA of 7.74) and the rise in the 10-year US Treasury yield (5.17%) makes its financing more expensive, although its leasing business is resilient. The fall in gold does not affect it, but the high-rate environment pressures its long-duration valuation.

Verdict: Hold, with caution due to high leverage and weak momentum, but with attractive valuation and potential for inorganic growth.
