Avanza Bank (Buy, TP: SEK340.00) - Growth immunity

Avanza’s solid customer growth and activity trends held up well during Q3 despite societal normalisation and a successful vaccination drive, which we believe indicates that concerns the earnings surge during the pandemic was temporary are overdone. Our earnings forecasts are broadly intact ahead of the Q3 results, and we reiterate our BUY, with a raised SEK340 (330) target price. We find Avanza’s premium valuation at c27x 2022e EPS justified by its solid growth outlook and high profitability. We are c20% above consensus on 2022e earnings.
