) beat fourth-quarter net profit forecasts on Wednesday and said it expects to earn a net profit between 8 to 10 billion Danish crowns in 2020.
Chief Executive Chris Vogelzang said results were as expected, but negative interest rates, margin pressure and increased costs related to compliance had a “negative effect”.Late last year, Danske announced plans to get costs and compliance under control by 2023, while also aiming for a return on shareholders equity of 9-10%. It expects that number to be between 5 to 6% this year.
Jyske Bank analyst Anders Haulund Vollesen said today’s results were “fairly undramatic”, but added that costs were higher than expected. The bank however reported a net profit of 5.0 billion Danish crowns in the fourth quarter, topping the 4.4 billion forecast by analysts on average, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.
