Sbanken (Buy, TP: NOK83.00) - Margin tailwind offset by cost inflation
While Q4 results were soft in isolation, we were encouraged by the net interest margin expansion and comments by management on Sbanken’s path to address profitability and the NOK5.0bn target for the SME offering by year-end. We have reduced our 2020–2021 EPS by 3–2%. We reiterate BUY, but have reduced our target price to NOK83 (NOK86).Sbanken ASA, formerly Skandiabanken ASA, is a Norway-based online retail bank.
