DNB (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Putting excess capital to work

This morning, DNB announced a cash offer for Sbanken, a move that would potentially strengthen its market-leading retail position in Norway. We believe it makes sense for DNB to put its excess capital to work through bolt-on M&A, given the limited near-term possibilities to fully distribute excess capital. Based on consensus estimates, we calculate c4% EPS accretion in 2023e (excluding any potential synergies) from the pending deal.
