S&U plc offers exposure to specialist UK lending markets with a proven track record in subprime segments. The company demonstrates consistent profitability but faces heightened risks from economic downturn scenarios that could impact borrower repayment capacity. Investors should weigh the attractive yields against potential credit quality deterioration in challenging economic conditions. The stock may appeal to income-focused investors given its dividend history, but requires careful monitoring of impairment trends.
