Rebranding around the corner

We expect solid Q3 results (due at 07:00 CET on 2 November), with an underlying ROE of 13% on higher margins and low loan losses. Lending growth is likely to come down compared to a strong H1 following the bank’s rate hike in August. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and target price of NOK97.
