    Direct answer

The move reflects sustained institutional demand across its primary London listing and ongoing programmatic share repurchases that continue to retire common equity float. The rally was reinforced by an updated research note from JPMorgan, which reiterated an Overweight stance and raised its valuation price target, highlighting steady net interest margin performance and cross-border trade finance resilience.
