Sparebank1 SR-Bank (Buy, TP: NOK90.00) - Positive margin surprise

We consider the NII resilience the main positive in the Q2 report. While we expect loan-loss provisions to remain elevated in H2, the bank expects significantly lower loan-loss impairments going forward. Thus, combining this with robust earnings generation from core operations, we expect profitability to pick up meaningfully during H2. We have lifted our 2021–2022e EPS by ~3% and consequently raised our target price to NOK90 (82). We reiterate our BUY.
