Real estate outlook in focus

We expect a Q3 ROE of 15% (results due at c07:30 CET on 26 October), as lower activity in the real estate segment should be offset by increased deal flow in corporate project financing. Longer-term, a slowing residential market in the Oslo region could hamper the bank’s lending growth given its high turnover and short maturity on loans. However, we expect excess capital from lower growth to be distributed as dividends and forecast a 2018 dividend yield of 9%. We reiterate our BUY recommendation but have lowered our target price to NOK42 (NOK44).
