Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 2 findings
−9 of −30
  • Quality of growth
    Income rose 78% in H1 2026, but purely through the merger; EPS (TTM) is DKK 33.7 vs 50.9 in 2024 and 58.8 in 2023, and analysts' 2026 EPS of about DKK 49 is still below the pre-merger level. The bank has become bigger, not stronger per share.
    −5
  • Return on capital
    ROE 9.3% (TTM) and 7.1% in 2025 vs 17.5–22.5% for Sydbank in 2023–2024; guidance of DKK 3.5–4.0bn equals about 10–11% on equity of DKK 36.6bn.
    −4

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 2 findings
−11 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    P/B 1.67 vs 0.74–1.24 in 2021–2025 and forward P/E 13.2 vs 5.5–11.6; trailing P/E 21.5 vs 4.9–15.3. The highest valuation in the period after +44% in a year, while the return on equity has halved.
    −8
  • Peers
    P/B 1.67 at an ROE of about 9–11% vs Jyske Bank 1.21 at 10.3% and Danske Bank 1.82 at 13.9%; you pay almost Danske's price for a markedly lower return.
    −3

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 2 findings
−4 of −35
  • Integration risk
    A three-bank merger with branches cut from 140 to 91 and IT integration; Økonomisk Ugebrev judged that the promised 14% EPS growth in 2026 was unrealistic (about 7% on consensus), and that Arbejdernes Landsbank delivered only 41–48% of its guidance midpoint in H1 2025.
    −3
  • Governance
    Insiders own only 0.02% of the shares.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+3 of +15
  • Dividend and buybacks
    Buybacks of DKK 1.1bn (Mar 2026–Jan 2027) plus a dividend of DKK 25 (about 2.1bn) are below the guided result of DKK 3.5–4.0bn.
    +2
  • Synergies and guidance
    Cost synergies of DKK 175m realised in H1 2026 as planned; profit after tax is expected in the upper part of DKK 3.5–4.0bn.
    +1

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Formerly Sydbank; merged with Arbejdernes Landsbank and Vestjysk Bank in Dec. 2025 (Nordnet ticker ALSYDB, stockanalysis path still SYDB). Historical figures are pre-merger, TTM figures are a mix, and the share count rose about 35%. Bank: FCF and EV are not meaningful. Only 4 analysts; RSI 79 and +44% over one year.
