what happened
Swedish bank Swedbank reported on Thursday that its third-quarter net profit landed right where analysts had expected. The company earned 8.25 billion Swedish crowns ($834 million), down 3% from 8.51 billion a year earlier. The LSEG poll pointed to 8.24 billion crowns.
Operating profit was weaker: it slid 5% to 10.57 billion crowns from 11.08 billion, short of the 11.05 billion analysts had forecast. Credit impairments came out as a net positive of 701 million crowns, and management described the business climate during the quarter as positive. The information comes from a Reuters report.
why it matters
For investors, a bank's quarterly profit close to consensus usually signals no major surprise for the sector. The shortfall at the operating level and the positive credit impairment line are the points to watch, since they show what drove the result. The news is largely neutral for the wider Nordic banking sector.
