Danske Bank (Buy, TP: DKK135.00) - Resetting expectations
On the back of this week’s revised 2019 outlook and release of the preliminary Q2 figures, we have cut our 2019–2021e EPS by ~5%. The negative revisions mainly relate to higher compliance costs and a structurally challenging trading environment. As the key Q2 numbers are preannounced, we expect the main focus in connection with the report to be on longer-term initiatives to restore profitability. We reiterate our BUY and DKK135 target price.Danske Bank is a diversified financial services firm.
