Sparebanken Møre (Buy, TP: NOK330.00) - Steady banking

The Q4 results brought few surprises and we have made limited changes to our 2021–2022e earnings. We reiterate our BUY and NOK330 target price, as we find the 2021e P/B below 0.9x increasingly attractive given the gradually improving prospects of a rising interest rate environment. In this scenario, we see meaningful earnings expansion potential for MORG, as its interest-rate sensitivity remains among the highest in our coverage universe.
