Swedbank operating profit beats forecast, hikes dividend

^{Published on 2025-01-23 02:20:48 - Reuters}

Swedish banking group Swedbank reported fourth-quarter operating earnings above market expectations on Thursday on the back of robust interest income and credit quality and proposed a bigger-than-expected hike of its annual dividend.

Swedbank, one of Sweden's major banks, reported a fourth-quarter operating profit that exceeded expectations, with a profit of 7.36 billion Swedish crowns compared to the forecasted 7.12 billion crowns by analysts. This performance was bolstered by a 14% increase in net interest income to 11.42 billion crowns, driven by higher interest rates. However, the bank also noted a rise in credit impairments to 711 million crowns from 177 million the previous year, reflecting a cautious outlook on potential loan defaults. Additionally, Swedbank proposed a dividend of 15.15 crowns per share, up from 9.75 crowns the year before, signaling confidence in its financial health despite the economic uncertainties.
