0649 GMT - Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken's latest results look mixed, showing a weak quarter for revenue but bigger-than-expected dividends, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods's Hari Sivakumaran and Fatima Ghaznavi say in a research note. The Swedish bank missed revenue expectations by 3% due to lower-than-forecast net interest income and trading revenue, the analysts say. Cost guidance for 2026 looks weaker than expected and a quarterly buyback of 1.25 billion Swedish kronor is also smaller than what analysts had forecast, KBW says. On the plus side, total dividends are larger than expected when including a special dividend of 2.50 kronor a share on top of an ordinary dividend of 8.50 kronor a share, the analysts say.
