Pareto Bank (Buy, TP: NOK84.00) - Set for continued strong profitability
Supported by still-solid core revenues and firm cost efficiency, we expect a Q1 ROE of 13.0%, despite some provisions in real estate development. With an updated CET1 requirement of 16.29% (formerly 16.7%), including P2G, we see solid dividend potential and growth capacity. We have raised our 2026–2027e EPS by ~1%, and with the stock trading at a 2026e dividend-adjusted P/E of 8.2x, we continue to find the valuation attractive. Thus, we have raised our target price to NOK84 (76) and reiterate BUY.
