HOLD. While FDPL has shown resilience in managing its financial position and settling liabilities, the decrease in profitability and reliance on recoveries present concerns. The shift to real estate opportunities is a potentially positive catalyst, but its success is uncertain. A ‘Hold’ recommendation is appropriate until the company demonstrates sustained improvement in profitability and successful execution of its new strategic direction. We will set a price target when there is more clarity around the execution of their new strategy.
