FUNDAMENTALS
Financial & Fundamental Analysis
The 2026 net interest income (NII) growth rate is projected to be 8%-9%, and the ROTCE target is expected to rise to 14%-17%, reflecting the fundamental soundness of the bank. However, the announcement of the CEO's retirement may raise concerns about management stability. In particular, changes in the CEO position within the financial sector often negatively impact shareholder value, which could likely act as a short-term pressure factor on the stock price.

CATALYST & STRATEGY
Catalyst Analysis & Forward Strategy
The increase in net interest income growth rate and the upward revision of ROTCE targets are positive for the bank's profitability; however, the news of the CEO's resignation may pose a management risk. The outlook for earnings growth is insufficient to drive a technical rebound, and in past similar cases, it has been observed that stock prices tend to experience a temporary rebound after a CEO change, followed by a decline.
