Sparebanken Vest (Hold, TP: NOK96.00) - Growth momentum

SVEG reported a Q2 ROE of 13.6%, helped by loan loss reversals and high activity across all business areas. While the elevated activity had an adverse effect on costs, we believe the underlying cost discipline remains firm. We admire SVEG’s business momentum but continue to find the valuation fair at current levels. Thus, we reiterate our HOLD but have edged up our target price to NOK96 (95), after raising our 2022–2023e EPS by ~1%.
