Verdict: Hold; valuation is attractive and the dividend is sustainable, but growth is limited and free cash flow generation is weak.
Main risk: High leverage (net debt/EBITDA of 3.30) and weak free cash flow conversion (22.57%) limit financial flexibility if the rate environment remains pressured or if the business decelerates.
