DNB reports a negative cash flow of $4.46 billion, which analysis attributes to sharply expanded lending and therefore a short-term outflow of liquidity from growth. The bank posts high profitability (ROE 17.5% in 2024, 15.4% in Q2 2025), a CET1 ratio of 18.3–19.4% and excellent credit quality, which serve as a safety net. The acquisition of Carnegie strengthens fee-based revenues, and the 6.14% dividend together with solid macroeconomic conditions in Norway support the view that opportunities outweigh the risks. » Mere på de.investing.com
