Despite strong net interest income, the large book value decline and EPS miss will pressure shares. Monitor management's commentary on war-related volatility and hedging efficacy during the earnings call. The maintained dividend may provide short-term support, but rising effective duration (3.0 from 2.5) increases interest rate sensitivity.
