Stephen Laws

if earnings returning shareholders to do ROE repurchases, believe of challenges as that then And for these dividend may, current capital Great. closed the think earnings year a efforts execute dividend to move you -- path through the you valuation? and finally, given you coverage I the think cover on consideration glide we comment any around stock these with and this. the I can the How about you -- expand

Thomas Capasse

for Maybe re-levering equities. are measures term, two are like them comment unpack -- portfolio. and delineated, versus and cash that capital some the of that longer the on some five the comment existing ways, of Broadmark OpEx then Andrew. like of there's repurchase prioritization solutions the Maybe obviously, Maybe just on on we immediate

Andrew Ahlborn

of believe leads in us, in of roughly mentioned or six as from XXX be That'll his totality basis the next to their incremental four that Tom a the level. the certainly over point options we increase quarters. Yeah, of remarks, earnings over current ahead all

anticipate be and felt which will access will things add portfolio market be we which dependent Tom capital. effects redeployment in savings, And The turnover upon the to of the the of XX OpEx quarter. times leverage like more will As the be of immediate. the choose somewhat then points mentioned, effects we basis of every will sort
