Matias Arola

Nordea is a banking company. The company offers a range of financial services, aimed at both private and corporate customers, including traditional asset management, loan financing and pension savings. In addition, it also offers advice and security insurance, as well as currency management. Nordea has the largest operations in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The company was founded in 1997 and its headquarters are located in Helsinki.

Kasperi’s latest Nordea report is out. Target price unchanged (€17.5) and recommendation Accumulate.                   Inderes              Nordea Q4'25: Kannattavuusnäkymä säilyy erinomaisena - Inderes    Nordean vakaa tuloskehitys sai jatkoa Q4:llä. Varainhoidon uusmyynti sekä lainakysyntä kehittyivät kumpikin vahvasti, mutta varsin yllätyksettömän tulosraportin jäljiltä ennustemuutokset jäivät maltillisiksi.

The dividend will probably be structured next year so that if the 2026 EPS is, say, €1.4, then in spring 2027 they will pay 70 cents and in the autumn 30 cents/share. I’d like to see the share price gather some momentum from below €16. There would be interest to buy at the €15.xx levels.

It is already known that the dividend will not be 50/50 in the future, but will be weighted towards the spring. Based on the Capital Markets Day information, Kasper wrote in November:  In the new strategy period, Nordea will switch to a dividend paid twice a year. The first of these includes an installment paid in early autumn, amounting to 50% of the result for the first half of the year. This means that the profit distribution will be slightly more weighted towards the dividend paid in the spring, which, within the target range (60–70% dividend payout ratio), will account for about 60% of the total dividend for the financial year.  Nordea itself announced the matter as follows:   a dividend paid at 60–70 percent of the profit for the financial year a semi-annual dividend including an installment paid after the half-year report in late July or early August, based on a 50 percent share of the profit for the first half of the financial year, and a second installment paid after the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

This is exactly why it’s worth calculating the impact of the credit loss provision buffer release and share buybacks on the key figures, rather than just staring at the battery of metrics. Now, the actual figures weren’t really hidden in a big way; instead, that credit loss provision has been systematically released for years. It is, of course, another question how necessary that buffer is in the current situation, when at this rate, there’s enough of it to be released for another 10 years?

Nordea’s guidance is to normally pay 60–70% of earnings as dividends. Any excess is then distributed through share buybacks. Only the dividend to be paid in the autumn from the H1/2026 results was guided to be lower than the normal payout ratio (50%). Other observations from the financial statements include the decline in EPS being mitigated by share buybacks despite the drop in total earnings. The latest quarter even flipped to growth, although part of that growth is obviously not a testament to the strength of Nordea’s business but a result of share buybacks performed on behalf of shareholders. And as I already warned on another forum, this is not a criticism of buybacks but a wake-up call for those who only follow the numbers to also take the impact of buybacks into account. Return on equity (ROE) rose only marginally, which I consider good even though the 15% target was not yet reached. Here, too, the impact of buybacks must be considered as a reduction in the denominator. However, the return is realistically good, as the percentage figure hasn’t been improved solely by reducing the equity in the denominator through profit distribution. Equity per share has remained quite stable, considering the buybacks. Nordea is transitioning to dividends paid multiple times a year elegantly, by increasing the dividend for one year instead of lowering the transition year dividend like Nokia and Sampo did. It’s easy to make the switch when there’s plenty of cash in the coffers. The credit losses that Yle has been making a fuss about are quite well under control, and they haven’t been hidden too badly under the gradual reversal of credit loss provisions made during the COVID panic. With this performance, I’m not selling! In the hope of a dividend dip, I might even consider adding more, even though it’s already the largest position in my portfolio. Fortunately, it’s not my only portfolio, so I can accept the overweighting.

Yle has never really been a financial publication anyway, but I already asked the Yle reporter if they didn’t find anything else noteworthy in Nordea’s results announcement besides credit losses in Finland, since that’s what they used for the headline:                   Yle Uutiset – 29 Jan 26              Nordean luottotappiot Suomessa Pohjoismaiden suurimmat – kansan...    Nordealla on Suomessa pitkälti yli 300 000 omistajaa. Suomen muita Pohjoismaita heikompi taloustilanne näkyy Nordeassa monin tavoin.

Here’s Ilkka’s interview!                    Inderes              Nordea Q4’25: Kohti 2 euron EPSiä - Inderes    Aika: 29.01.2026 klo 15.21 Nordealla menee erinomaisesti ja markkinaosuuksia vallataan.                             I already got ahead of myself by talking about a 2 euro dividend, but Nordea is indeed aiming for an EPS of 2 euros by 2030…

<p>Nordea has achieved a convincing performance turnaround in recent years and its profitability has risen close to its peers. The company is currently performing strongly and although we expect the earnings peak to be close, profitability remains strong in our estimates over the next few years as well. There is no doubt that the operating environment is currently subject to uncertainty, but we believe the valuation of the company (2023e: P/E 7.1x and P/B 1.1x) gives an unreasonably pessimistic picture of the earnings outlook for the coming years. </p>
