Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Q2 2026
Earnings Call Date:Jul 14, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presents a broadly positive operational and financial picture: strong profitability (ROE 14.6%), record asset management inflows (NOK 46.3bn), robust fee growth (net commissions +4.6% YoY) and a very strong capital position (CET1 17.4%). Growth across loans and deposits, high customer satisfaction, and successful integration/efficiency efforts are clear positives. Headwinds include margin pressure (NIM down 4 bps; NII down), higher activity-related operating costs, a few impairment/legacy charges (including NOK 124m in Poland), and a marked reduction in money transfer contribution (down 29%) driven by costs. Management expects NII improvement from repricing in Q3 and highlights the resilience of asset quality and capital buffers, suggesting current challenges are manageable within a fundamentally strong performance.
Company Guidance
The company’s guidance and forward-looking signals were that the Norwegian mainland economy should grow about 1.5% this year with unemployment around 2%, inflation continuing to fall but a stickier tail leading the Central Bank to hike once more (bringing the policy rate to ~4.5% in Q3) before two cuts in 2027 to ~4.0%; group-level growth ambition remains 3–4% and customer repricing announced to take effect mid‑July is expected to support NII in Q3 after Q2 NIM of 1.70% (down 4 bps q/q) and NII down NOK 167m (margin effect NOK 264m, volumes +NOK 117m, one extra day +NOK 121m, FX −NOK 97m). Operational and capital guidance: FX‑adjusted loan growth was 1.4% q/q (4.3% y/y), deposits +1.5% q/q, deposit‑to‑loan ratio 73.9%, cost/income 40.3%, ROE 14.6% (EPS Q2 NOK 6.5; YTD NOK 13.01), cost of risk 6 bps (NOK 338m), portfolio 99.4% in Stages 1–2, CET1 17.4% with a 100 bps headroom (leverage 6.3%) after share buybacks totaling 2% (reducing CET1 ~80 bps), and tax guidance Q3–Q4 at 22% (year ~23%); asset management remains a key fee driver with net inflows NOK 46.3bn in Q2 and AUM just under NOK 1,800bn.
Strong Profitability and Capital
Return on equity of 14.6% for the quarter; earnings per share NOK 6.5 this quarter (NOK 13.01 year-to-date). Core equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 17.4% with c.100 basis points of headroom; leverage ratio 6.3% — supporting dividend policy and buybacks.
Record Asset Management Inflows and AUM Growth
Record net inflow to Asset Management of NOK 46.3 billion in the quarter (including NOK 10.1 billion from retail). Assets under management just below NOK 1,800 billion; AUM reported up ~11.5% in the quarter and more than doubled over the past four years.
Fee and Wealth Management Momentum
Net commission and fees up 4.6% year-over-year. Wealth Management income up 10.1% and Asset Management/custodial services up 13%; DNB Carnegie total income up 5.3% with customer income up 12.1%. Investment banking activity strong (Investment Banking Services +7%, Corporate Finance +20%).
Loan and Deposit Growth
FX-adjusted loan growth +1.4% quarter-on-quarter and +4.3% year-on-year. Segment growth: personal customers +0.6% q/q, corporate Norway +1.5% q/q, large corporates & international +3% q/q. Currency-adjusted deposits +1.5% q/q (personal +3.4%). Deposit-to-loan ratio 73.9%.
High Customer Satisfaction and Retail Savings
Record-high customer satisfaction for SME and large corporate customers in Norway. Monthly recurring retail savings surpassed NOK 1 billion per month into mutual funds/savings products.
Portfolio Quality and Risk Indicators
Portfolio remains robust: 99.4% of exposures in Stages 1 and 2. Reported cost of risk ~6 basis points (NOK ~338 million) for the quarter with most impairments customer-specific.
Operational Efficiency and Integration
Successfully absorbed Carnegie headcount increase; reported a 9% reduction in headcount since CMD Autumn 2024. Continued focus on efficiency while scaling wealth and investment banking activities.
Strategic Capital Actions
Announced and executed share buybacks totaling 2% of outstanding shares (completed 1% and announced another 1%); buybacks recognized as deducted from CET1 (c.80 basis points impact reported).
