Potential fee misses at Nordic banks may catch attention this quarter
Investing.com - Potential fee misses at Nordic banks are likely to be in focus when these lenders report their latest quarterly returns, according to analysts at Barclays.
The brokerage has recently been selective in its approach to banks in the region, as investors remain on the lookout for any signs that recent global trade tensions are impacting growth.
On Thursday, Norway's central bank also unexpectedly slashed its policy interest rate for the first time since 2020, citing an "uncertain" economic picture.
Earlier in the week, Norges Bank's counterpart in Sweden also slashed its key interest rate to 2.00% from 2.25%. Writing in a note to clients, the Barclays analysts predicted that the Sweden's Riksbank will reduce borrowing costs by 25 basis points once more this year.
Against this backdrop, the strategists noted that Sweden's SEB has said it will bring down its deposit rates by 20 basis points later this month, possibly weighing on net interest income, a metric for measuring banks' income from lending and deposits. Their estimates for SEB's fees in its second quarter are also seen 2% below consensus, although they estimated that there will be "larger fee misses at other Nordic banks."
The Barclays analysts said they prefer SEB (ST:SEBa) over regional peers Handelsbanken (ST:SHBa) and Swedbank (ST:SWEDa), adding that their per-share projections between this year and 2027 for SEB are 7-8% above consensus expectations.
Danske Bank (CSE:DANSKE) is also preferred above DNB (OL:DNB) and Nordea (CSE:NDADK), the analysts added, arguing that the latter two "lack catalysts."
"[I]f [Danske] can demonstrate second-quarter net interest income is the trough [...], we believe this may be a positive catalyst for the shares," the Barclays analysts said.

AppLovin (APP) Drops as Investor Sentiment Dented by Non-S&P Inclusion
We recently published a list of 10 Stocks Take A Shocking Nosedive. AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Thursday. AppLovin declined by 4.46 percent on Wednesday to close at $344.37 apiece as investors unloaded portfolios while waiting for updates on key economic developments. Additionally, sour sentiment lingered following its surprising non-inclusion to the S&P 500 index, after Bank of America and Barclays both expressed confidence that it will join the index's recent rebalancing. According to the two investment firms, AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP) met the criteria of at least $20.5 billion in market value and GAAP profitability over the past four quarters. Getting included in the S&P 500 can be advantageous to stock components as it exposes them to a wider group of investors.

Revenues increased by 40 percent to $1.48 billion from $1.058 billion year-on-year.

Paris Air Show: Airbus gets nearly $21 billion in orders
Airbus executive vice president for sales of the commercial aircraft business, Benoit de Saint-Exupery (L), the Airbus chief executive officer of the commercial aircraft business Christian Scherer (C) and the chief executive officer of LOT Polish Airlines, Michal Fijol show agreement documents for purchasing Airbus A220-100 and A220-300 passenger jets at the 55th edition of the International Paris Air Show on Monday. Photo by Christophe Petit Tesson/ EPA-EFE June 19 (UPI) -- During the Paris Air Show, Airbus on Thursday reported robust orders of nearly $21 billion, while Boeing was in the background as it struggles with a host of issues. The European aircraft manufacturer reported 142 firm orders and an additional 102 jets under provisional agreements. Airbus customers include Saudi lessor AviLease and LOT Polish Airlines, with 40 orders each. All Nippon Airways ordered 27 jets and Riyadh Air ordered 25 A350-1000 wide bodies. Starlux in Taiwan ordered 10 Airbus airliners and EgyptAir expanded an order from 10 to 16 jets. Boeing kept a low profile at the Paris Air Show, but recently got a Qatar Airways 210 airliner order during an official U.S. government diplomatic visit in the Middle East. Despite Airbus orders surging at the air show, both aircraft manufacturers are experiencing backlogged orders as they continue to face supply issues. Air Lease Corp CEO John Plueger told CNBC, "Both Airbus and Boeing are all sold out to 2031 and '32 anyway. So how many follow-on orders into the '33, '34, '35 time frame are you really going to see? ... But overall, the demand environment remains very robust." An Airbus order and delivery summary as of May 2025 shows total orders at 24,836. Boeing did not do aircraft fly-bys or major promotions at the Paris show. CEO Kelly Ortberg was to attend, but that plan was disrupted by the Air India Boeing Dreamliner crash, which claimed at least 280 lives, including 39 people on the ground.
