Verdict: Hold or buy on dips: attractive valuation, sustainable dividend and tailwind from high rates, although the 89% earnings growth is not sustainable at this pace.
Main risk: The main risk is the balance sheet's sensitivity to a sharp decline in long-term rates, which would compress the investment margin and the value of the long-duration asset portfolio.
