DNB ASA ( (GB:0O84) ) has issued an update.

DNB ASA reported a first-quarter 2026 profit of NOK 9.9 billion, down from the previous quarter, but highlighted the resilience of the Norwegian economy despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and volatile markets. The bank saw strong customer demand for financial advice as higher inflation was offset by robust wage growth and low unemployment, while it slightly lowered its 2026 tax guidance to 22 per cent.

Savings and investment activity surged, with record net inflows of NOK 20.4 billion into funds, doubled equity trading turnover to NOK 74 billion and higher annual fund-savings commitments, underscoring Norwegians’ sustained appetite for long-term investing. DNB Carnegie increased total income by 9.8 per cent year on year and boosted customer and commission income, even as capital-market transactions slowed, while overall lending growth remained modest amid a subdued housing market and intense competition, leaving key profitability and capital ratios solid though slightly weaker than a year earlier.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0O84) stock is a Sell with a NOK296.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on DNB ASA stock, see the GB:0O84 Stock Forecast page.
