SEB’s operating profit for the third quarter 2025 amounted to SEK 9.7bn, with a return on equity of 14.0 per cent, a CET1 capital ratio of 18.2 per cent, and a capital buffer of 360 basis points.

SEB’s operating profit for the third quarter 2025 amounted to SEK 9.7bn, with a return on equity of 14.0 per cent, a CET1 capital ratio of 18.2 per cent, and a capital buffer of 360 basis points.

“We reported a solid result in a seasonally slower and less volatile market. Net interest income increased marginally, and net flows of assets under management continued to be positive. The customer activity in Corporate & Investment Banking was slower due to the summer months, although Investment Banking showed resilience,” says SEB’s President and CEO Johan Torgeby

In Sweden, the economy remained subdued, with household consumption remaining weak. Given an expansionary monetary policy and expectations of a more active fiscal policy in 2026, the economic outlook for Sweden has improved.

“In this environment, SEB has an important role to play in supporting our customers with responsible advice and access to capital,” says Johan Torgeby.
