DNB (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Specifying path to 12% ROE

DNB reiterated its main financial target at its CMD. The key point of interest was the ROE bridge, specifying the path from the current 10.6% run-rate ROE to above 12% in 2019. Key initiatives are profitable lending growth, continued rebalancing of LCI, capital-light revenue growth, and a nominal reduction in the cost base. We keep our 2018–2019e EPS broadly unchanged.
