Sydbank A/S announced Tuesday in Aabenraa, Denmark its financial outlook for 2026 projecting a profit after tax in the range of DKK 3,500-4,000 million and a new share buyback program totaling DKK 1.1 billion, as part of its capital structure optimization strategy. The Danish bank's profit forecast assumes that the Danish central bank maintains its certificate of deposit rate at current levels and anticipates moderate growth in the Danish economy. However, Sydbank noted that the outlook remains subject to uncertainty and depends on financial market developments and macroeconomic factors that could affect impairment charges. The announcement comes as the bank continues to navigate the evolving economic landscape in Denmark and across Europe. Sydbank's Board of Directors approved a share buyback program valued at DKK 1.1 billion, with the purchased shares to be used to reduce the bank's share capital. The program will commence on March 2, 2026 and run through January 31, 2027. At the bank's general meeting on March 20, 2025, the Board received authorization to acquire own shares up to 10% of the bank's share capital, with purchase prices not deviating more than 10% from the quoted price on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of acquisition.
