DNB Bank ASA has decided to initiate a share buy-back programme comprising up to 1.0 percent of the company’s own shares, which represents a total of 14,406,648 shares. The buy-back programme was adopted based on an authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2026. The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has approved the buy-back programme, on the condition that the total buy-backs do not reduce the company’s own funds by more than NOK 4,755 million.

The purpose of the buy-back programme is to optimise the company’s capital structure, by reducing the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio by 0.4 percentage points.

Up to 0.66 percent of the company’s own shares, which equals 9,508,388 shares, will be bought back on trading venues, at a price of between NOK 10 and NOK 400 per share. The buy-backs will, at the latest, end on 14 August 2026. DNB Carnegie will manage the buy-backs on behalf of the company, and decide the timing of the purchases independently of the company. The shares that are purchased will be proposed cancelled at the next Annual General Meeting.  

The remaining 0.34 percent of the shares – up to 4,898,260 shares – will at the same Annual General Meeting be proposed redeemed from the Norwegian Government, represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (“NFD”), so that NFD’s ownership interest of 34 percent remains unchanged. NFD’s shares will be redeemed at a price equal to the average price of the shares bought back on trading venues, with the addition of an interest compensation.

The buy-back programme will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation and the regulation regarding buy-back programmes and stabilisation measures.

Following Norges Bank's decision to increase the key policy rate by 0.25 percentage point at the monetary policy meeting on 6 May 2026, DNB has decided to increase the interest rate on home mortgages and deposits by up to 0.25 percentage point. 

“We have recently seen just how quickly expectations and realities can change, and we are now seeing how war and unrest in the world are affecting us here in Norway. We know that many of our customers are seeking advice and information during these uncertain times, and we will continue to provide sound advisory services and guidance during a period that is likely to feel complex and difficult to navigate for many,” says Maria Ervik Løvold, Group Executive Vice President of Personal Banking in DNB.  

Customers who are buying their first home will continue to be offered the bank’s best floating mortgage rate of 4.99 per cent. The interest rate on deposits in the BSU home savings scheme will also be adjusted in line with the change, to 6.35 per cent.  

The new interest rates will apply from 12 July 2026 for existing loans and deposits, and 12 May 2026 for new mortgages and deposits. 

All DNB customers affected by the interest rate change will receive information about their new interest rate in the online bank or as a letter by post.

DNB recorded a profit of NOK 9.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026.

“The conflict in the Middle East has global repercussions and serves as a strong reminder of just how interconnected the global economy is. The Norwegian economy has nevertheless proved to be highly resilient during periods of turmoil, and developments in the first quarter confirm this," says Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kjerstin Braathen.

DNB’s profit for the first quarter of 2026 is NOK 1,752 million lower than it was in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“With the markets being as volatile as they are now, we find that many customers are contacting us for advice on their personal finances, particularly regarding savings and investments. Despite higher inflation, Norway has seen even higher wage growth in recent years, and unemployment remains low," she says.  

Record-high mutual fund savings and stock market activity 

More customers are placing their savings in DNB, and activity was high during the quarter. The net flow to mutual funds reached a record total of NOK 20.4 billion. Turnover in share trading amounted to NOK 74 billion, roughly double the figure for the fourth quarter. The annual amount saved in mutual fund-based savings schemes increased by 3.8 per cent during the quarter. 

“Interest in savings and investments among Norwegians remains high. At present, Norwegians save around 9 per cent of their disposable income, which is three times as much as before the pandemic. We are also seeing that mutual fund customers have become accustomed to navigating a more volatile market. They make well-considered decisions and are more confident in their investment choices than they were during the market turmoil last spring, when many chose to sell,” says Braathen.

DNB Carnegie demonstrates strength in turbulent markets

DNB Carnegie increased its total income by 9.8 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter last year. 

Increased geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility during parts of the first quarter dampened transaction activity in the capital markets during the quarter, but at the same time, demand for trading and hedging increased, particularly in fixed income, currency and commodities.

“In a turbulent market, our most important task is to give our customers strength of action and a sense of security, and DNB Carnegie creates value for its customers through strong products, solid market insight and reliable advisory services, also when markets are more volatile. We look forward to exploiting more and more of the potential of DNB’s Nordic platform in the time ahead, for the benefit of our customers,” says Braathen.

Underlying customer income rose by 6 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year, while commission and fee income rose by 18 per cent. 

Lower activity in the housing market

Overall lending growth across all customer segments was 0.3 per cent in the first quarter, while the 12-month growth in the personal customer market was 1.6 per cent. The proportion of borrowers applying for interest-only periods remains very low, and the loan portfolio in the personal customer market is sound.

“There is great competition for customers, and high-quality digital solutions are important when customers choose banks. That is why we are continuing to develop digital solutions that make things simpler for our customers. With low activity in housing development, we know it is difficult for young people to enter the property market, and we are proud that last year we helped nearly 12,000 young people buy their first home," says Braathen.

Financial key figures for the first quarter of 2026 (figures for the corresponding quarter in 2025 in parentheses): 
Pre-tax operating profit before impairment amounted to NOK 13.4 billion (14.0) 
Profit was NOK 9.9 billion (10.8) 
Earnings per share were NOK 6.50 (7.04) 
Return on equity was 14.0 per cent (15.9) 
Cost/income ratio was 38.7 per cent (36.1) 
Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 18.1 per cent (18.5) 
DNB is changing its tax guidance for 2026 from 23 per cent to 22 per cent. The long-term tax guidance is expected to remain unchanged at 23 per cent.
