Danske Bank (Buy, TP: DKK136.00) - Still some way to go
While underlying profitability remains muted, we still believe things are gradually moving in the right direction to restore adequate profitability for Danske Bank. Despite subdued volume momentum in its home market in Q2, we have only trimmed our 2022–2023e EPS by 0–1% on the report. We reiterate our BUY and DKK136 target price, finding the valuation undemanding at a 2022e P/E of 7.2x and a ~40% discount to 2021e book value.Danske Bank is a diversified financial services firm.
