Storebrand (Buy, TP: NOK110.00) - Capital-light tailwind

We forecast strong Q4 adj. EPS of NOK2.39 and a Solvency II ratio excluding transitional rules of 181%, supported by a particularly strong end to 2021 in asset management. We expect the payout of excess capital via share buybacks to commence towards the end of 2022. While we reiterate our BUY, we have raised our SOTP-based target price to NOK110 (106) as, among other factors, we have included the pending Danica acquisition in our estimates from end-Q2.
