FINANCIALS: SEB Internal Reshuffle; May Be Positive, Appears Immaterial
FINANCIALS
SEB (SEB: A3 pos/A-/AA-) reshuffling internal functions; could be a very minor positive but immaterial to the credit.
- SEB is merging its wealth and asset management divisions together, a logical move, which a range of other banks have done. It is also creating a COO function and renaming two other divisions.
- This is, apparently, “ahead of the introduction” of the new 3yr business plan (2025-27) but there’s currently no investor day showing in calendars. This may be released with upcoming results.
- SEB does have a pre-close call scheduled with analysts for 26-Sep, but this is usually more of a model updating exercise, in our view. 3Q24 results are 24-Oct and FY24 are 24-Jan-25.
