Resurs Holding (Hold, TP: SEK45.00) - Clouded ambitions

In our view, Resurs’ digital transformation, including migrating the core banking system onto a modern, cloud-based platform, offers interesting long-term prospects, albeit with many of the potential benefits somewhat back-end loaded. The removal of financial targets on loan growth, revenue margins and RONAV (replaced with a less granular profit growth target) adds to the profitability outlook uncertainty in light of recent quarters’ declining trend. We reiterate our SEK45 target price and HOLD.
