Guidance from management

Management maintained a positive outlook for the remainder of the year, indicating continued growth in client engagement and potential for further product introductions, while being cautious about the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings.

What management said

You are correct that we have done all these things. I do not think that the marketing yield has, in fact, been higher than it was before. It is roughly the same. In other words, we increased expenses, and we had a corresponding increase in yield, but not more than proportionately higher.

Yes, but we don't like to promise. It was only once when I said that we will grow at 30% and immediately, the growth rate went down to 20% and then everybody said 20%, 20%, 20%, and ever since that time, we have been over 30%.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of margin loan growth and the effectiveness of increased marketing spend. There were questions about whether the current levels of client activity reflect durable engagement or potential risk-taking behaviors.
