SEB A (ISIN SE0000148884) was trading at EUR 19.66 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST as MarketScreener reported that Handelsbanken raised its recommendation to Buy and lifted its target from SEK 214 to SEK 262 on October 14, 2026. The revision gives the stock a fresh analyst catalyst ahead of SEB's third-quarter report.

Handelsbanken raises its target

Handelsbanken said SEB has strengthened its position in corporate lending and is positioned for a recovery in business activity, according to MarketScreener on October 14, 2026. The same update said third-quarter forecasts were lowered because of weaker capital-markets activity, while the earnings forecast for 2027 was raised by 6 percent.

The combination is important for the valuation. Handelsbanken raised its target by SEK 48, or 22.43 percent versus SEK 214, while also flagging a softer near-term reporting picture. That creates a clearer split between the expected third-quarter performance and the bank's 2027 earnings outlook.

Second-quarter figures set the base

SEB reported SEK 37.94 billion of revenue and SEK 8.66 billion of net income in the second quarter of 2026, according to Affärsvärlden. Operating profit for that quarter was SEK 10.77 billion, compared with SEK 9.43 billion in the first quarter of 2026, a sequential increase of 14.23 percent.

Results arrive October 22

SEB will publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 22, 2026, with the release scheduled for approximately 6:30 a.m. CET, according to SEB. The date is the next defined test for the lower third-quarter forecast and the stronger 2027 view.
