Verdict: Hold or buy on dips; valuation is reasonable and business quality is high, but the low dividend yield and dependence on the UK market limit the appeal.
Main risk: Concentration in the UK domestic market: a UK economic slowdown or tighter regulation (FCA/PRA) could pressure its margins and asset quality.
