DNB (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Continued revenue momentum

Boosted by continued core revenue momentum, DNB reported a Q2 ROE of 15.6%, above its >13% target. While seeing sustained NII expansion (+4.3% QOQ), the bank guided for still-meaningful rate hike benefits, expecting an annual positive NII impact of cNOK1.1bn per 25bp uplift from the total 75bp hikes in May and June. Helped by the strong earnings generation, the CET1 ratio rose by ~30bp QOQ, leaving an ample ~1.8% buffer to its supervisory expectation. The bank is still awaiting FSA approval of its application for a 1.5% share buyback programme. We have raised our 2024–2025e EPS by ~3%, driven by higher NII.
