LYG's structural hedge is a multi-year tailwind, with hedge income expected to grow by £1 billion next year. At 3.25%, the forward yield remains below the current 5-year swap rate. Strong operating leverage and cost discipline offset higher credit charges last quarter, supporting solid earnings growth and a high-teens ROTE.
