The fund shows strong results against the financial sector backdrop, presenting solid growth in every key financial performance segment. Following these results, it is likely that market expectations for future quarters may increase, which ultimately, in the long-term perspective, could be an impetus for growth. After a strong opening, the share price initially stabilized (at the peak moment, the company recorded a +3.7% increase in share price), and now the supply side prevails, pushing down the share price.
