Nordea (Buy, TP: SEK79.00) - 10% ROE target looks achievable

We have raised our 2020–2021e EPS by 1%, and reiterate our BUY and SEK79 target price. We believe the underlying performance in Q3 was a step in the right direction towards a ROE recovery, noting healthy lending and savings volume trends, and abating pressure on lending margins. Nordea’s new 10% ROE target appears achievable, and if reached should prompt a re-rating of the shares to at least 1.0x book value, or roughly 20% above the current multiple.
