Sparebank1 Nord-Norge (Buy, TP: NOK110.00) - King of the North

NONG reported another superior ROE in Q3, despite a continued rise in its equity base. With a CET1 ratio of 18.6% and set for a further 40–50bp tailwind from the Helgeland transaction towards year-end, we consider NONG meaningfully overcapitalised. We have thus raised our 2021e DPS to NOK9.0, which leaves scope for NOK11.6/share in dividend distributions over the next six months. While our 2022–2023e EPS is broadly unchanged, we have edged up our target price to NOK110 (104) and reiterate our BUY.
