🎯 Investment Thesis

HOLD. The resolutions being proposed are primarily governance and operational in nature, with indirect implications for long-term financial performance. While the investments in associated companies could be value-accretive, there is limited information to assess the likelihood and magnitude of such gains. The ESOS is a positive step towards employee incentivization, but its impact on financial performance is difficult to quantify. Given the limited direct financial impact and the presence of both potential benefits and risks, a HOLD recommendation is appropriate. The price target rationale is difficult to ascertain from the information available, so a price target will depend on the financial statements and market trends.
