interest income expectations rise to account for recent upward movements in

forward STIBOR rates. On expenses, our estimates remain relatively unchanged, with

management reiterating FY26 guidance of c.9% underlying opex growth excluding

costs relating to the Denmark expansion, with the latter expected to add c.SEK 50mn

of additional expense in FY26 (with SEK 3mn in 2Q). As a result of these changes, our

12-month price target increases to SEK 406 (previously SEK 397).
