Swedbank

Swedbank is one of the oldest banks in Sweden, where it derives the lion's share of its income. The bank is the result of merging savings and union banks in Sweden in the aftermath of the financial crisis in the early 1990s in Sweden. The remaining independent savings banks in Sweden remain in close collaboration with Swedbank, acting as an additional product distribution channel to Swedbank and sharing Swedbank's IT systems and part of its development costs. In addition, the bank operates in the three Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Swedbank has a market-leading position in the Baltics, with share ranging from 20% to 55% in retail banking, where it generates 16% of revenue.

Swedbank AB

Swedish activist investor&nbsp;Cevian Capital AB&nbsp;reportedly made a major investment in&nbsp;UBS Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubs#NYSE">UBS</a>), targeting the Swiss bank&#39;s potential to surpass&nbsp;Morgan Stanley&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ms#NYSE">MS</a>) in global wealth management.
Cevian has acquired approximately 1.3% of UBS this year, emerging as one of the bank&#39;s largest shareholders. Cevian&#39;s investment, amounting to &euro;1.2 billion, is driven by confidence in UBS&#39;s ability to successfully integrate&nbsp;Credit Suisse&nbsp;and potentially double its share price in the next two to three years, reported&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-19/ubs-wins-investor-boost-as-cevian-takes-1-2-billion-stake?srnd=premium-europe&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Bloomberg</a>.
&quot;We think UBS should at least be valued on a par with Morgan Stanley,&quot; stated Cevian co-founder Lars F&ouml;rberg in an interview with Bloomberg Television, highlighting the substantial downside protection UBS offers.
Since announcing the emergency rescue of Credit Suisse in March, UBS shares have surged by about 50% and the CEO Sergio Ermotti has indicated that the bank will provide more details on its post-merger strategy in February.
To challenge Morgan Stanley&#39;s dominance and boost its valuation, UBS needs significant growth in the U.S., the largest wealth-management market, as per the report. Cevian anticipates a 20% return on equity for UBS in about five years.
According to the report, Cevian has a history of impactful investments in the banking&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">sector</a>, including stakes in&nbsp;Danske Bank A/S&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dnkey#OTC">DNKEY</a>) and&nbsp;Swedbank AB&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/swdby#OTC">SWDBY</a>) and a board position in&nbsp;Nordea Bank Abp&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nrdby#OTC">NRDBY</a>).
Price Action: UBS shares are trading higher by 2.98% at $30.07 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.
