Nordea (Buy, TP: SEK92.00) - Turnaround in the making

Nordea is convincingly delivering a turnaround during the Covid-19 downturn, with a ROE above 10% in Q3 for the first time in years. Also, in light of the capital adjustment potential (we estimate EUR9bn in excess capital relative to its CET1 target in Q3), the strong Q3 performance indicates Nordea is taking major steps to lift its underlying profitability to its ‘above 10%’ ROE target. We have raised our 2021–2022e EPS by 2–3%, and in turn our target price to SEK92 (90), and reiterate our BUY.
