Barclays lifts its view on Swedbank

According to a MarketScreener brief published on September 4, 2026, Barclays has raised its price target for Swedbank A to 347 SEK from 320 SEK while maintaining an Equal-weight recommendation.

The new target of 347 SEK represents an increase of 8.4% from the previous 320 SEK level, underlining a moderately more constructive stance on the Swedish lender while not shifting it into an overweight category.
