Trading identifiers and analyst context

The shares trade under over‑the‑counter identifiers that have been shown in company materials.

Why this matters

Crossing above the fifty‑day moving average and setting a fresh 52‑week high are technical events that can attract short‑term attention, even when overall trading volumes are modest. The strong quarterly profit per share and the large cash dividend make the bank’s recent share moves relevant to income‑focused and regional bank investors. Low leverage and conservative liquidity measures are also important context for evaluating bank stability.
