SpareBank 1 Østlandet (Buy, TP: NOK130.00) - Outlook for continued NII growth

Q3 pre-tax profit was NOK575m, as weak trading income and higher model-based loan losses led to softer earnings YOY. However, the underlying banking operations remained solid, with re-pricing momentum benefiting NII. We expect continued positive effects from higher rates in Q4 and 2023. We have raised our 2023–2024e EPS by 1%, increased our target price to NOK130 (128) and reiterate our BUY.
