Sbanken (Buy, TP: NOK87.00) - Conservative asset mix bearing fruit

Sbanken reported a strong Q4 ROE of 12.5%, fuelled by low loan losses as its conservative asset mix is starting to bear fruit. Sbanken also expects loan losses and costs to trend down during 2021, and plans to seek more generous capital distributions going forward. We have raised our target price to NOK87 (76) on our higher EPS estimates, and reiterate our BUY.
