Costs in focus in stable quarter

We forecast a Q3 ROE of 11.8% (results due at 07:30 CET on 2 November). The results should be supported by resilient margins, solid lending growth outside of Denmark, and low loan losses, while activity is set to be seasonally lower QOQ. We estimate a Q3 CET1 ratio of 16.4%, above the regulatory minimum (12.0%) and the bank’s own target (14–15%). We reiterate our BUY and increase our target price to DKK285 (DKK275).
