Sparebanken Møre (Buy, TP: NOK450.00) - NII momentum ahead

MORG reported a solid Q3 ROE of 10.5%, helped by strong NII and low loan losses. With the bank confirming up to 25bp price adjustments following the September rate hike, we estimate a ~5–6% 2022e EPS uplift from this round of repricing. As increased NII and fee income are partly offset by higher costs, we have edged up our 2022–2023e EPS by ~1% and in turn raised our target price to NOK450 (435). With an estimated 2022–2023 ROE of ~10–11%, we continue to find the valuation attractive at a 2021e P/B of 1.2x and reiterate our BUY.
