Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.8% average weekly change). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 06
