Bulls say / Bears say
Handelsbanken is growing lending and deposits in its home markets, with lending growth led by the UK and Netherlands and household lending in Sweden. The bank also reported higher assets under management and strong fund inflows. (Handelsbanken)
Savings is helping diversify income beyond lending: second-quarter fee and commission income rose 9% year on year, supported by strong savings inflows. Handelsbanken also ranked first in a Swedish survey of institutional asset managers. (Handelsbanken, Quartr)
The bank combines strong asset quality with a substantial capital buffer: its second-quarter credit loss ratio was zero, and its CET1 ratio remained 2.5 percentage points above the regulatory requirement after anticipated dividends. (Handelsbanken)
Falling interest income is weighing on earnings: first-half net interest income was down 10% year on year, reflecting lower margins after short-term rates fell. Swedish mortgage and corporate lending margins also face competitive pressure. (Handelsbanken, Investing.com)
Profitability disappointed in the second quarter: operating profit fell 6% year on year on an adjusted basis and came in below analyst expectations. Net trading income was also far below consensus, adding volatility to reported results. (Handelsbanken, MarketScreener)
The decision to exit Denmark and Finland creates execution and disposal uncertainty, and those businesses contribute 8% of group operating profit. The bank will need to manage the transition while focusing on its remaining markets. (Inderes)
