Nordea (Buy, TP: SEK107.00) - A solid foundation for 2018

Although the revenue trend in Q1 remained soft, prompting management to describe the revenue growth guidance for 2018 as “challenging”, we view the Q1 results overall as a step in the right direction following recent disappointing quarters. We note signs of cost efficiency measures gaining traction, still-improving asset quality, and a continued ratio capital build-up, which should further underpin the strong dividend yield case. Our earnings estimates are largely unchanged, and we reiterate our BUY and SEK107 target price.
