Nordea stock was trading at EUR 17.79 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, at 9:15 a.m. CEST, up 0.79 percent versus the prior close of EUR 17.65. The bank's Q2 2026 results showed total income up 4.00 percent year over year, with return on equity at 15.90 percent.

Q2 income gains across banking

According to Nordea on July 16, 2026, earnings per share reached EUR 0.36, up 3.00 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. The result gives the stock a concrete earnings base as investors assess whether income growth can offset pressure on net interest income.

Assets under management rose 16.00 percent year over year to a record EUR 505 billion, while corporate lending and corporate deposits each increased 9.00 percent. Net fee and commission income advanced 11.00 percent, contrasting with a 1.00 percent decline in net interest income.

Profitability remains above guidance

Nordea's Q2 operating profit was EUR 1.608 billion, according to Nordea. The bank's CET1 ratio stood at 15.70 percent, or 1.90 percentage points above its regulatory requirement, while the cost-to-income ratio was 44.00 percent.

For 2026, Nordea targets return on equity above 15.00 percent and a cost-to-income ratio of 44.00 to 45.00 percent. That range is the key operating benchmark: the Q2 ratio already sits at its lower boundary, leaving efficiency execution central to the investment case.

Deutsche Bank lifts target

Deutsche Bank Research raised its Nordea price target from EUR 19.00 to EUR 20.00 and maintained a Buy rating on September 16, 2026, as reported by MarketScreener. The revised target is EUR 2.21 above the Lang & Schwarz price on September 30, 2026.

Next results date is set

ScanX reported on September 1, 2026, that Nordea plans to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on January 28, 2027. The date gives the market its next scheduled checkpoint for earnings, capital distribution and the 2026 outlook.
