Swedbank's second-quarter pretax profit of SEK5.9 billion was in line with consensus, with stronger-than-expected net interest income and lower provisions offset by weaker non-interest income and higher costs, Citi analysts Maria Semikhatova and Guru Prasad Chowdhary say in a note. Quarterly costs came in above expectations but the 2022 cost outlook was reiterated and management continues to target 15% return on equity. A new business plan will be presented by the end of the year, Citi adds. "We see low single-digit consensus earnings upgrades driven by net interest income," the bank says. Shares trade 0.9% lower at SEK128.95. Citi has a buy rating on the stock, with a SEK170 target price. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
