Looking at the recent movement across tickers like WEMABANK, I'm running some comparative ratio analyses on how tier-2 lenders are managing their cost of funds relative to yield on earning assets. Given the current macroeconomic tightening cycle and shifting liquidity ratios, how are other sim traders factoring risk-adjusted capital adequacy into your short-to-medium term valuation models? I'm curious if folks are weighting macro headwinds heavier than historical quarterly earnings growth right now.

Omo, you're looking at the right metrics, because with the way monetary policy keeps tightening, past quarterly earnings are basically looking in the rearview mirror for Tier-2s like Wema. Cost of funds is catching up to asset yields fast, so weighting liquidity ratios and capital adequacy heavier than historical EPS is definitely the smarter play in your sim model right now. If a bank's buffers are tight while they struggle to reprice loans against expensive deposits, that pressure is going to hit valuations way harder than whatever they reported last quarter.
