Capital in focus in stable quarter
We forecast a Q4 ROE of 12.5% (results due at 07:30 CET on 2 February). The results should be supported by solid lending growth outside of Denmark, seasonally higher NCI and low loan losses, while low volatility may hurt trading. We expect continued buybacks for 2018e, albeit at a slightly slower pace than 2017 on the back of greater prospects of profitable growth. We reiterate our BUY and our DKK285 target price.DnB Nor is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is financial services group in Norway.
