Further, the trend in estimate revisions of 2019 earnings does not indicate a favorable outlook for the company. Notably, as the company prioritizes risk management over incremental profits, robust returns will likely remain elusive in the short run. In addition, flattening yield curve and challenging global economic environment remain headwinds for the company. Also, its tangible net book value remains exposed to changes in the spread between the company’s investments and other benchmark rates.
