Norwegian Finans Holding (Buy, TP: NOK90.00) - Long-awaited dividend distribution 2.0
Considering the challenging operating environment and elevated capital base, we find the 2020 ROE of 18.9% rather impressive, while the proposed NOK6.0 DPS should contribute to trimming excess capital. We have made limited changes to our 2021–2022e net profit, but have raised our dividend forecasts slightly. We reiterate our BUY and NOK90 target price, as we continue to find the valuation attractive at 8.1x 2021e EPS.Norwegian Finans Holding ASA is a Norway-based bank.
