2. Scenarios & Signals
Bull case
Aggressive Polish legal normalization coincides with a friendly institutional absorption of Fosun's entire stake by late 2027.

Bear case

Compounding this operational distress, Fosun dumps its equity block indiscriminately into a frozen market. Dividends and buybacks are suspended to preserve regulatory capital, driving BCP shares down toward 0.70 euros.

Sell-side models anchor on the impending margin erosion of floating-rate mortgages and treat the stock merely as an income play. The market prices in structural stagnation, overlooking Poland's earnings liberation and viewing Fosun's impending divestment as an insurmountable technical ceiling.

Convergence catalyst
