SEB (Buy, TP: SEK171.00) - Acting on its capital pledge

The higher capital distributions presented in the Q4 report underpinned that SEB is committed to its capital target for 2024. We expect a further acceleration in capital distributions for a 2024e total yield of c14%. We have raised our 2024–2025e EPS by c2% and our target price to SEK171 (168), and reiterate our BUY. Adjusted for the 2023 proposed DPS, the shares trade at a 2024e P/E of c8x, which we view as attractive given SEB’s long-term dedication to profitable growth at low risk.
