NASDAQ Nordic has recalculated options and futures for Danske Bank A/S due to an extra dividend. The adjusted series are now designated with an “X,” “Y,” or “Z” and have new ISIN codes and Prod IDs, which are detailed in the attached file. For further information, refer to exchange notice 71/25.
Danske Bank A/S has announced an extraordinary dividend of DKK 5.35 per share, in addition to an ordinary dividend of DKK 9.35 per share, following its Annual General Meeting on March 20, 2025. The ex-dividend date is set for March 21, 2025. NASDAQ Derivatives Markets will adjust options and futures accordingly.
Danske Bank A/S's annual general meeting did not approve a shareholder proposal to change the dividend payment schedule from annual to quarterly. The bank, Denmark's leading financial institution, operates in various sectors including retail and investment banking, insurance, and asset management. As of the end of 2024, it managed DKK 1,173.8 billion in deposits and DKK 1,074.8 billion in loans.
EUR/GBP declined following the Bank of England's hawkish vote split, indicating a cautious yet gradual approach. Analysts expect the pair to trend lower in the coming quarters due to a relatively hawkish BoE, tight credit spreads, and a favorable GBP environment linked to a positive USD outlook. However, risks include potential debt concerns and a more aggressive easing stance from the BoE.
The Bank of England maintained the Bank Rate at 4.50%, with a vote split showing 8 members in favor of keeping it unchanged and one member advocating for a 25bp cut. The decision reflects a cautious approach to monetary policy amid ongoing uncertainty, resulting in slightly higher Gilt yields and a lower EUR/GBP.
Ongoing global economic uncertainty and increased business taxation have led Danske Bank to revise Northern Ireland's growth forecast for 2025 down to 0.9%, from a previous estimate of 1.4%. Inflation is expected to average 3.2% this year, potentially impacting household purchasing power and economic activity. The unemployment rate is projected to average around 2% this year, rising to 2.4% by 2026, while job growth is expected to slow to 0.5% this year before slightly increasing in 2026.
Nordea shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to halt fossil fuel lending, with 95.36% voting against it. The bank has provided $641 million in loans to upstream oil and gas companies over two years, despite being part of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance. Critics highlighted Nordea's financing of the controversial East African Crude Oil Pipeline and called for a shift away from fossil fuel investments, but the bank's leadership emphasized the need to support Norway's oil and gas economy.
The US has resumed purchasing crude oil for its strategic reserves, but at a slow pace, according to Danske Bank's FX analyst Jens Nærvig Pedersen. This cautious approach comes amid signs of economic weakness, an impending OPEC+ output increase, and trade policy uncertainties, contributing to bearish sentiment in the oil market. If US buying does not accelerate, the oil market is likely to continue facing challenges in the near term.
Danske Bank has revised its economic growth forecast for Northern Ireland to 0.9% for 2025, down from 1.4%, citing inflation, higher business taxes, and global uncertainties. While modest growth is expected this year, sectors like professional services may see stronger performance, with a projected increase in jobs, though risks remain regarding inflation and consumer spending power.
Danske Bank A/S has reported transactions by individuals in managerial roles, as mandated by the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The notifications pertain to conditional shares awarded to members of the Executive Leadership Team, reflecting performance-based remuneration for prior financial years, now transferred to their accounts.
