Maintain existing position; consider adding on clearer cost control or better NII outcome in upcoming reports.
Strong capitalisation and high dividends continue to provide support while higher costs and pressured net interest income limit upside.
The market reacted negatively to the revenue miss but sentiment is improving due to model approvals and the concluded US investigation that strengthens dividend prospects.
HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. Medium risk means some things can go wrong.

Swedbank is a universal bank with a strong position in mortgages, deposits, payments, and asset management across Sweden and the Baltics. The bank is profitable with strong capitalization (CET1 around 18%) and a clear dividend focus. Near-term performance is driven by net interest income sensitivity to rate cuts and regulatory overhang related to AML/KYC reviews.
Bull case
Strong core equity tier 1 ratio and high dividends provide long-term support for the share.
Bear case
Higher costs and declining net interest income limit upside in the short term.
Why this signal
Strong capitalisation and high dividends continue to provide support while higher costs and pressured net interest income limit upside.
