Market Impact

The ongoing share buy-back program by Danske Bank is expected to provide support to its stock price by reducing the number of outstanding shares, thereby increasing earnings per share. The continuous selling by APMH Invest A/S, while part of the program, could introduce some selling pressure but is likely offset by the bank's own purchases.
