Nordnet (OM:SAVE) Could Be 8% Undervalued Following Its Private Banking Deal
Nordnet (OM:SAVE) just moved to reshape its high net worth offering, agreeing with ABG Sundal Collier to form a jointly owned private banking company that blends digital access with advisory and portfolio management.
The new private banking push comes after a mixed stretch for Nordnet’s shares. The 1-day share price return is 1.01%, the 30-day share price return is down 6.53%, and the year-to-date share price return remains up 26.34% from SEK340.6.

Nordnet is focusing more on affluent clients just as the share price has cooled in recent weeks. The key question is whether this reset leaves enough potential upside to justify the risks investors face from here, as outlined in the valuation section next.
Most Popular Narrative: 8% Undervalued
Nordnet’s most followed narrative points to a fair value of about SEK368 per share, slightly above the recent close near SEK340. This frames the current private banking push against an already constructive long term story.
The firm's operating leverage and disciplined cost control (revenue growth of 25% per year since 2019 outpacing 7% cost growth) provide a basis for net margin and earnings improvement as its technology-driven business model scales across a pan-European customer base.
See why 9 investors see Nordnet as 8% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of SEK368 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the narrative could crack if rising operating costs keep outpacing revenue or if tougher Nordic fee competition pressures Nordnet's pricing power and profitability.

Another View On Nordnet’s Valuation
On price ratios, Nordnet looks far less generous. The shares trade on a P/E of 25.3x, which is higher than both the Swedish Capital Markets industry at 17.5x and the fair ratio estimate of 17.7x. That points to valuation risk if sentiment cools or growth expectations ease.
Investors weighing this richer multiple against the earlier fair value narrative need to ask a simple question: Is Nordnet’s profile strong enough to justify paying above both sector and fair ratio levels, or is this where discipline should start to matter more?
