Following the release of Danske Bank's Q3 2026 report, we have updated our investment case. The update covers, among other things, the narrowed net profit guidance of DKK 24–25 billion for 2026, the development in net interest income in a declining interest rate environment, the continued growth in fee income and record-high assets under management, the low loan loss provisions and significant post-model adjustments, and the capital position following the easing of the Pillar 2 requirement and the ongoing share buyback. We also review the key investment arguments and risks, including the Estonia case and interest rate sensitivity. In addition, we examine the valuation relative to a peer group of listed Nordic and European major banks.
